Helpful Hints:
The best place to table is definitely Bruin Walk. However, because it is so heavily trafficked by students and tablers, some students will avoid the area. If you can try-table at the dorms or on North Campus.
When you are trying to publicize your own events, I suggest you compile your own lists over the year of students interested in specific areas and then email them individually as certain events present themselves. Also, sending fliers to the dorms is helpful.
