What to Bring

We want you to be comfortable while you're staying with us. Please help us out by bringing the following items with you:

  • Bedding (pillow, sheets, sleeping bag/blanket, etc.)*

  • An alarm clock and fan*

  • Toiletries (soap, shampoo, towels, etc.)*

  • Informal clothes (sneakers, jeans, shorts, raincoat/umbrella)

    Note: Equine Industries majors will be visiting the Hadley Farm, be sure you pack appropriate clothing for a visit to the barn!

  • A water bottle (especially if it is going to be hot)

  • Two pencils and two pens

  • Spending money (your meals and lodging are included, so you only need a small amount)

  • Your online Math Placement Exam score, Net ID and password

  • Your insurance card in case of emergency

  • Your spring 2013 grade report or transcript (if you took college level courses this spring)

*These items are not necessary for the one day transfer programs in May and July.
