@SuperPoofi My d is there now and will remain for second session.

The SCHS students are housed in the LuckyDay residential college. The rooms are huge, with a private bathroom in each room. The sink is located outside the bathroom proper. There are 2 large closets directly opposite the bathroom door and sink. Imagine a hotel-type arrangement. The a/c is adjustable. There is a lounge on each floor. The kitchen and laundry, plus other common rooms, are downstairs. Guys and girls are separated.

Besides the usual clothing (she packed one or two nicer outfits just in case), toiletries, and preferred school supplies, my d took

a set of sheets
a blanket
a pillow
towels
her computer
her kindle
backpack
refillable water bottle

We stopped at Walmart before leaving her on campus and purchased

hangers
a container of cleaning wipes
hand soap in a pump
toilet paper (she received one roll at check-in lol)
snacks

We flew down to Memphis and drove to Oxford. Many, many students arrived with so much more than d! A desk lamp might be a good idea if you are the type to study in the room and need more light than the overheads.

The provided fridge is large and has a separate freezer compartment with its own door.

A bus or van runs to Walmart on most Fridays (need to sign up before), though not this last one for the session. Vans are available to take groups of students to off-campus restaurants on the weekend.

There is an assortment of snacks and drinks for sale downstairs in the bookstore. Starbucks in the bookstore is slammed in the morning when it first opens (d’s class starts at 8). I don’t know about the Einstein Bagels in an engineering building since d doesn’t go over there. Most non-dining hall locations close at 2pm weekdays and are closed on the weekends. Dining hall swipes can be used on the weekends (language on the website is a bit confusing—something about 2 swipes M-F but it’s really that you get 40 (?) swipes total).
