<p>@Jimmy–Here is a helpful guide re: what to bring (you may have seen this already):

<p>Re: your comment about ski equipment, my S (also Class of 2018) attended a local reception for admitted Dartmouth students on Sunday and had a good discussion with a fairly recent alum who mentioned that renting ski equipment from the Dartmouth ski area for the season is not expensive (relative to renting elsewhere); also buying reasonably priced used equipment is possible. These might be good alternatives to bringing equipment with you on the plane. </p>
<p>PS Hearing what recent alums and parents of current students had to say at the reception–and meeting other accepted kids–only confirmed for us that Dartmouth was the right choice for S.</p>
