What to bring
We understand the stress that can go along with preparing for University life. So we devised a list of items you should think about bringing (and items you should leave at home). If you end up forgetting something, don't worry. Many items can be purchased at our University bookstore.
Don't forget your ID and Medical Insurance Card!
