Hey bruin TLers,
just throwing out here that I'll be transferring into UCLA in the fall as a Psychobiology major, form Irvine Valley College in Orange County.
I'd love advice, stories, hello-s, connections, etc. I'm going to be living with the other transfers, which will be in Gardenia Hall in De Neve.
Come at me! Let me know what's up. I play excessive amounts of Dota 2 right now, so if you do that too, we can add each other on steam and play. Is there a Dota 2 UCLA group or anything?

Where are you transferring from?

Whats Orange County like?

UCLA has a handful of people that do play games, but nothing is organized. Feel free to join the SC2 group here.

I'm still enrolled at ucla, it's great to see more people from tl trying to find people there (also congrats on getting in from IVC, I went to UCI for my undergrad).

Hopefully next year will be a good year for us; probably some bigger organizational changes coming up (key people graduating this year).

It's generally a wealthy area, with giant gaps in income level though, because you have extremely wealthy people along with your average middle and low class people in other areas. Pretty conservative area, lots of folks go to church.

My only issue with that is that I haven't played Starcraft in a year and a half Back when I did though, i would have loved to join. I had just broken into masters.

Awesome! What's your major? I live in Lake Forest, UCI was my backup backup. I didn't want to go there because I didn't want to live at home more. I wanna go away and have the university experience.

terrible terrible mistake on choosing ucla but in all seriousness, congrats on the transfer!
my suggestion would be to enjoy gaming, but just as a hobby. and it's great to use it to network and find a group of friends via CSL etc. but don't be that guy who sits in his dorm room all day every day playing games. universities have so much to offer that i honestly feel like i should have used my time differently when i was in undergrad.
good luck!

Yeah I honestly don't think I'll be playing much at all once I get there, unless it's with friends and nothing else is in the way. I know I'm going to have a ton of other stuff to do. The problem now is that I just don't have anything to do.

Hey Carbonyl, I'm a freshman who just moved in yesterday to UCLA and I'm staying in De Neve too! I would be down to meet up and game. I've been playing dota 2 a lot this summer too
