Fun things to do at Cal Poly Pomona

Xcron · 07-21-05, 01:33 PM

What are the most fun things to do at CPP?
I heard the residence halls that have the computer theme have LAN parties almost all the time (that's the kind of thing I am interested in).
Joining some clubs is probably fun, as I heard.
What else is there?

what exactly is LAN parties? u mean player multiplayer games?

Tried the game room? other than that i have no idea wht's fun @csupomona.

Nate · 07-21-05, 02:34 PM

LAN parties are where people gather their computer stuff together and play a multiplayer game together, usually in the same room. This never really happens in the dorms. The closes you are going to get is a few people playing CS or system link with Halo 2.

There's nothing fun on this campus. You can make your own fun I guess. Try kicking a duck or start hitting the rose bushes with a bat.

If u like to study then csupomona is the happiest place on earth!

Xcron · 07-21-05, 04:30 PM

I like to study, but only when I am at school.
I only like to study if I have to and if it's a subject I like.
I am sure I am going to be looking to have some fun at least 1/10th of my day at the school.
How can I find the people playing CS or Halo 2?
I'd like to play video/computer games with some people on campus.
Is there a club for it? I will probably join some clubs just for the heck of it so I can meet some people and chill.

Nate, I thought your post was hilarious haha. All of that is restricted but it would be hilarious, sadly, to see some of those things lol.

Xcron · 07-21-05, 04:32 PM

Any chat rooms that students use to just talk and chill while at school or something else?

hausome · 07-21-05, 09:09 PM

Any shows? Dances? Parties? Life?

Nate · 07-21-05, 09:12 PM

If you are going to live in the dorms, your best bet it talking and meeting people on your hall floor. That way you can get their AIM screen names and set up a game. There's your little lan party consisting people in your hall. The only chat room I can think of is the DC hub (file sharing hub) that is set up on campus in the dorms. You'll learn more about it when you move in.

So true. Becoming an ASI member, fraternity and sorority and clubs are the big thing at Cal Poly too.

Finally!!! Alright, this message is directed towards you, Nate.

I have a friend at UCB who told me about the whole hub thing that UCB has. I already have DC++. The only thing left is that I need the adress and port, I think. How many people are in there on average? Anybody get caught throughout the year? Find anything you're looking for or is CPP's hub scarce of stuff?

Xcron · 07-22-05, 05:39 PM

Oh, and I am not going to be dorming. Any tips on how I should meet people and play games or whatever? Other than classes and clubs, heh.

Well, to get on the hub you have to be using the campus network. You cannot connect to it offcampus due to firewalls and stuff like that. On the CalPoly one, I say around 100 users or more. Nobody gets in trouble because everything is done within the network so you don't have to worry about the RIAA or MIAA because they can't access and monitor the hub. The campus network adminstrators don't care because everything is done within the network so it is not taking up precious bandwidth. The only problem with the hub I think is that everyone has the same stuff. It's only good for finding movies and music. If you are looking for something new, you're better off finding it elsewhere or wait awhile for someone to get it and share it on the hub.

Go up and talk to people? You're most likely going to get shot down because that's kinda weird/awkward. You can try meeting people in the arcade room.

Xcron · 07-24-05, 11:38 PM

Yeah, I kinda thought that would be the restriction to the hub use. My friend at UCB said that the same thing goes on throughout the school year. But for some reason, the UCB hub is open to all during the summer. Whatever.

Could you give me the hostname and port or whatever I need for the hub? I am probably going to be using it to talk to the people there and dl stuff, I guess.

I didn't know CPP had an arcade room (probably because I am barely going to start in the Fall =P ). Where is it located? I bet I could find some people to play games with, lol...seems like the only thing to do at CPP other than join clubs...and the regular school stuff heh.

It's in Student Union

The arcade is obviously not free, right?

Are there any "hot-spots" on campus where there seems to be a high concentration of people?

What are some places to go to if you want to study in complete silence on campus?
