   Laptop

A reliable laptop is crucial for taking notes, writing papers, and accessing online course materials. Invest in one with good battery life that’s lightweight and portable.

2. Planner

With classes, extracurriculars, and social events to juggle, a planner will help you stay organized. Whether you prefer digital or paper, find a system that works for you.

3. Comfortable walking shoes

Our beautiful campus in Waleska has lots of hills! You’ll be doing plenty of walking to class, so make sure you have supportive, comfortable shoes.

4. Rain jacket

Don’t let a rainy day derail your plans. A waterproof jacket or umbrella is essential for making it to class dry.

5. Portable charger

There’s nothing worse than your phone or laptop dying when you need it most. Always keep a portable charger on hand to stay powered up on the go.

6. Reusable water bottle

Stay hydrated throughout the day by carrying a reusable water bottle. You’ll save money and help the environment by cutting down on disposable plastic bottles.

7. Noise-canceling headphones

Dorm life can get loud. Invest in a pair of noise-canceling headphones for those times when you need to focus or get some peace and quiet.

 They’re also great for listening to music or watching videos without disturbing your roommate.

8. Shower caddy

Make it easy to tote your toiletries to the dorm bathroom with a shower caddy. Get one with drainage holes so your soap and shampoo bottles can dry.

9. Laundry hamper

Stay on top of your laundry by keeping a hamper in your room. Opt for a lightweight, collapsible one that’s easy to carry to the washing machines.

10. First aid kit

It’s always good to be prepared for minor medical needs. Pack a first aid kit with bandages, pain relievers, cold medicine, and any other supplies you might need.

Bonus item: if you use supplemental oxygen, a portable oxygen concentrator backpack makes it easy to carry your device hands-free around campus.
