<p>Eh, I didn’t even use any notebooks. I generally used my Macbook to type up notes (except for math classes of course); but at the same time, some professors don’t allow laptops in their classrooms. </p>
<p>And I’d definitely invest in a water filter; I bought a ridiculous amount of water bottles first semester, and it’s really a waste of money and plastic bottles. Drinking straight from the water fountain isn’t too fun, either.</p>
<p>I’d also say (especially if you’re a girl) to pack some extra costumes or fun, off-beat clothes - you don’t really realize it until you get here, but lots of parties are themed, so it’s nice to have maybe something neon or sparkly or some spandex to wear for that 80s party or whatnot. You might be invited to a fraternity/sorority invite, and you’re going to need some semi-formal clothes for that, as well! If you’re actually planning on being in a fraternity/sorority, then you will most definitely need nicer clothes to wear every week for Monday Night Dinners.</p>
