<p>In terms of packing, don’t overpack. There’s a Bed, Bath, Beyond in the mall, and Walmart and other big box stores aren’t far away. It’s easy enough to get stuff that you may have missed the first time.</p>
<p>Books: what you spend will depend quite a bit on the classes you take. Amazon’s usually the best bet, but you can shop around online and check out the Brown bookstore before buying. Generally you can do without the book for the first few weeks of class. Definitely don’t buy them until you’re certain which classes you’re taking.</p>
