If you are from out of state, make sure to bring warm clothes for the winter that includes something heavy like a parka. I remember some of my out of state friends underestimated the cold and had to buy new winter clothes after they arrived in Michigan. If you are going to live in the dorms, you’ll likely use a communal bathroom for showering. Bring flip-flops or sandals if you don’t like to walk around barefoot in the shower areas.
