<p>waiting,
There is a CVS in Hyde Park within walking distance to campus and a convenience store on the ground floor of South. It is probably more expensive than Walmart, but you won’t be be buying all that much there. There is a Target that is convenient to get to on public tranportation-- my S’s house took a group trip there during O-week and he was able to get enough shampoo and laundry detergent and such to last quite a while. There could be other places I don’t know about–these are just the ones I’ve encountered visiting S–but these are plenty to allow you to cross this concern off your list.</p>
