<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Ok so basically the situation is that I’m an Australian-American citizen, and am planning to go to the states next year for uni. I am in the unfortunate situation where, in Australia, it isn’t very popular to have a “college fund”, and my family and I aren’t exactly in the situation where we can afford to pay for much regarding my education over there. So I’ll have to be paying for everything myself.</p>
<p>My question to everyone is, what do I NEED to get for my freshman year? Obviously I’ll need to save money for things like a laptop (for studies and also so I can contact my family) and textbooks and such, but what else do I need?</p>
<p>I’m mainly asking this because I don’t wanna show up on my first day without the necessary stuff, haha. And since I’ll have to pay for my flights and stuff as well, I’ll have to start saving now, so its best to have my research ready sooner rather than later.</p>
<p>Thanks all! </p>
<p>TB</p>
