Packing List

While I am thinking of it here is a partial list of things that you should plan to bring with you when you come for the May Workshop. Hopefully everyone else will chime in with their favorite items to bring.
  • Laptop w/LAN cable and mouse
  • Good case to carry anything you need during the day - when you leave the dorm in the am it is unlikely you will be back
  • Thumb drive to transfer files back and forth from computer to computer
  • Comfortable clothes and shoes for various temps this year the dorms have been cold at night. The first week was cool the second hot but the english building was having so work done on the A/C so we needed to layer
  • Notebook
  • Pens/Pencils/Markers - Your favorite tools for brainstorming
  • Post-its
  • Towel or two depending on your preference
  • Laundry duffel bag/basket - for carrying back and forth from the washer and dryers
  • Sheets and blanket - Nice to have your own
  • Pillow - Theirs are flat
  • Iron/Ironing board - Work this out with your roomates to have one for the dorm to share
  • Lots and Lots of quarters for the washer, dryer and soda machine - If you are like me and many others here you will find you live on the caffeine in the soda to keep you awake.

If you don't see it here feel free to ask but pretty much you will want to bring anything that is going to make you comfortable and at ease. Even though you are only here for two weeks it will feel like you have been here for sixteen. We have even begun to call it home.
