I got accepted into UCLA for the fall semester of 2006. I am coming over from New York and will be entering into the engineering school for material science. I don't know what else to say but what were your plans again?
 
... my plan is simply. Get a practical degree, and get out. i never visited that university, so this thread is just my way of getting to "know" the university. i might attend the one day orientation thing on auguest. i wonder about the girls there..
