Hey! I’ve gathered that it rains pretty hard and frequently in New Orleans. There was never much need for a raincoat where I’m from, but lots of people have advised me to bring a raincoat, rain boots, and an umbrella. I’ve got the rain boots, but as for a raincoat… should I be looking at something more expensive (Columbia or London Fog brand), or a simple nylon poncho? What’s most common around campus? Any suggestions as to the type of umbrella either?

Thanks!
