How to get to Brown

Hi, as a parent, I would suggest going to your local Bed, Bath and Beyond store and selecting what you need to be picked up in Providence. Everything that you choose in your local store will be waiting at the Providence store when you get here. You will need a car to transport everything. The great thing about Bed, Bath is that you don’t need to purchase everything you have held (so go ahead and over-shop and prune later) and they will honor all those 20% off coupons. You will need one for each item, so start saving. They also have a list on their computer of the Brown do’s and dont’s (e.g. no halogen lights). I did this with both my kids (opposite coasts) and it worked great. You can get much nicer bedding this way and avoid the linen package.

As to anything that you want shipped…you can ship a box to your hotel to hold for arrival and save having to go visit the Brown Post Office. My son shipped his printer and some odds and ends and it worked great. We also flew Jet Blue to Boston to take advantage of the free luggage allowance. Of course, I have sons and so the luggage was less than for a girl (or so I have been told).

Oh, I see I cross-posted about B, B and B. You can see it is popular!
