| I mean I'm stuck in the eighties so I love the NES, but, Wii certainly is more interactive and advanced. | |

| Mocha is good, but if I want a course book, is it only available on campus, or do they send in mail over summer? Might be interesting to hear short version of story behind course book. | |

| AudiB4 Thank you for your reply, it was very helpful!
modestmelody Thank you for taking the time to put up that list for me! I think I'll copy it and then alter it for my own needs - you put some things there I had completely forgotten I would need.
A quick question - how do I know if Brown has received my admission reply card? I know I could just wait for my packet to come, but my parents are a little paranoid. Would it be too much for me to call and ask next week? Or will I receive an email once they've processed it? Thanks!
Edit-- I forgot to ask: how do I know if my laptop is compatible with Brown's network? Should I wait to get one?

| If I remember correctly, Brown took forever to send out the admission packet. You will get it soon and it contained some dated materials like a health form, personality questionaire...stuff like that. I dont see any harm in calling the admission office to make sure they received your acceptance card-give it a week since it may take that long to receive and process. | |

| There is a range of capability and inclination. Still, if one is proactive in seeking help, they should find it. | |

| Forgettable: My advice for seeing if anything ever gets received in the mail is simple. Get a few postcards and have them self addressed to yourself. Anytime you send anything important, most people would just bounce the postcard right back to you, and ta da once you receive your postcard you know they have it.
Of course this wouldn't hold up in a court of law... but it's for your own peace of mind that it arrived  | |

| If you plan on skiing a lot is it better to keep a car? And how far are resorts and is it easy to find people to go with?
Oh and will Brown let you stay an extra year if you love it so much you don't want to graduate? | |
