Chances are, if you’re reading this you’re either new or haven’t done very well prepping for the first day until now. Walgreens puts together ‘back to school’ shopping lists for kindergarteners—what about us? Never fear, for IVO’s Declassified School Survival Guide is here.
First and foremost, checkGauchoSpace(link attached) to see if the syllabus for any of your classes has been posted. Unless it’s changed in the past two years, Orientation didn’t even mention GauchoSpace, yet it’s such an integral piece to every UCSB students’ academic life. Basically, this is where many professors and TAs will post syllabi, lectures, homework, additional problem solutions and even previous exams. It’s important to check GauchoSpace for a syllabus, as some professors strictly prohibit the use of electronics while others encourage their usage. If they say no laptops, (you guessed it) don’t bring a laptop. They also might have some pre-lecture homework and some reading due day one (Legally Blonde flashbacks?). If there are assigned books, you’ll likely want to bring that week’s reading with you to class.

These are just a few examples of what to bring the first day to class. Obviously this list isn’t all inclusive and certain items (earphones as a key example) will make your first day loads better. This is just a tried and true list that’ll keep you above water for Day 1.
