Headed down to the reunion this week. Anyone else attending? For those that have been in the past, any recommendations as far as what events are worthwhile?
Reunion Weekend 2015
- Thread starter NorCalVU10
- Start date
Stay in the dorms. Seriously. It's awesome.
Other than that, the major thing is the party on Sheehan Beach. Lot of fun, lot of booze. Lots of kids and families but fun.
You'll spend most of your time doing exactly what you did when you were a Junior living on West Campus.

Would that be drinking 2 beers at once several times over and/or mining used hard drives for the original Winged Calathes picture?
No going but it's my 50th reunion. It's hard to believe it's been 50 years since I was a student!
Went to our 5 year, definitely agree stay on West. Friday night hyit up one of your favorite bars in the area then Saturday I would recommend the picnic followed by an after part on West campus. Not sure about your age but it seemed like the people who enjoyed the Saturday night party were older. If you still enjoy beer pong, flip cup, and just stupid fund I would recommend skipping out on it. Get drunk on west and order Campus Corner, live like a king for a weekend before you go back to reality on Monday.
Do not, I repeat DO NOT, miss either of these presentations...

There is a day party on Sheehan Beach. Great opportunity to bump into people you haven't seen in a while. I highly recommend it just to see folks, be outside and drink.
I was a big fan of the Saturday night party. You wear something nice, you have dinner with people who are more responsible - and it's just a nice evening. Works best if you have a group you are going with and some people have their sh*t together. If that's not you, then you won't enjoy it.
15 year reunion? When we were there, we met a bunch of '97s who were doing the dorms. That was 2012.
Prefer to drink Natty Light, play beer pong, order $200 worth of campus corner for 30 people and sing Bruce Springsteen with Nardibynature shirtless. Guess my shit just aint together.
I agree with KJBert comments. Went to my wife's 5 year and my 10 year, stayed on west campus and did both the BBQ on Sheehan beach and the Saturday night party.
The west campus was sold out months ago, so a few of us booked a hotel out in KOP. Sucks, but not much you can do. A lot of people are just doing the picnic, and skipping the gala dinner thing. If you don't have kids, you can stay in one of the South Campus dorms, but they don't allow anyone under 21 there.
Guess so...probably end up doing some light boozing during the picnic, put the wife and kids to bed and then drink. No idea, but I don't think I would use up a solo pass for this reunion...
