<p>I agree with what the other posters said about shipping what you can so you don’t have to lug so much around. You do have to remember that it isn’t like you are going out into the wilderness here, you are just going to another city. You really just need the stuff that will get you through your immediate arrival. There will be stores close by that you can buy whatever things that you need such as band aids and toothpaste. Bringing a lot of toiletries can really weigh down your suitcases. And, i would imagine that you can always ask your parents to send you stuff from home that you have decided that you need once you have been at school for a week. Shipping is not that expensive. You are going to want to have some stuff with you and some of that can be shipped ahead. If you get on the school website, it will tell you when you can receive packages. It is so simple to order your bedding and towels through a company that delivers to school. RHL is one of them and they are pretty cheap too. It is better than packing sheets from home or trying to get a ride to BBB or walmart after you arrive.</p>
