<li>You really don’t need a car and for some it is more of a hassle than needed.</li>
<li>A mini fridge is good and you can get one at Walmart or Best Buy</li>
<li>You don’t need a micro, as most dorms have kitchens near with micros, etc. I think they are prohibited in rooms anyway.</li>
<li>Many students use their computers for TV with a simple installation and configuation required-- you might want to get a bigger stand alone monitor-- my son got a 27" Samsung monitor for this purpose.</li>
<li>You can get pretty much anything you want in West Lebannon, which is nearby</li>
<li>Bring your skis and snowboards up after Thanksgiving break, but you don’t even have to bring yours since there are plenty available for rent or use.</li>
<li>Bring layers of clothing for cold days and it is nice to be ready for a rainy day-- interestingly, there are more sunny days than grey days in the Winter though, but it does get cold and if you are not from the northeast you will get the layering thing down. Dartmouth does not get that depressing run of grey days that you see around lake effect regions.</li>
<li>The feedback is that Dartmouth food is great and there are many options.</li>
