if you’ve swum before, any sort of muscle-memory stroke that will get you across will suffice. attire, anything short of underwear goes for males. two/one piece are both fine for females. Would probably be a good idea to make sure it’s for swimming though… unless you want to put on a show lol.

The FWS feature a mix of both usually but the Profs/TAs have individual preferences of course. The instructors aren’t permanent for these FWS though so there really isn’t that much reliable info on specific persons. I find the discussions more interesting since you get to hear your peers - often from different colleges - speak.

if you bring a printer, it will cut your costs by quite a bit.
If you have the 10 a week meal plan, you should be more than fine for meals; if you’re a picky eater or a vegetarian that might not be true though… Depending on how you spend your BRBs (on snacks, midnight meals and coffee), it could be a lot or it could be little. with $500 BRBs, that comes out to around $27 a week on top of your meals as your “food” budget. Parties might have cover charges, and “concerts” are like 5-10 for A Capella/symphony/comedy by students, and guest concerts are usually at least 35.
