GENERAL PACKING SUGGESTIONS

Each student will be provided with a linen packet containing the following necessities: sheets, pillow and pillowcase, and a blanket. Towels and soap are also included, but are rather small, so we HIGHLY recommend that you bring your own bath towel and a bar of soap. Your linens will be exchanged weekly. You may want to bring a study lamp, extra blanket, tennis racket, swimming suit, musical instrument, or other recreational equipment.

Minnesota can be rather warm in July. Generally speaking, dress is casual summer wear (shorts and t-shirts are fine for the classroom). Also plan to bring a jacket for cooler nighttime temperatures and colder days. Please bring at least one dressier outfit for special occasions and graduation.

**Please be sure to bring your photo identification card, as you will need during some special events.**
