Understood and taken in that light. I was sharing my one data point – a printer was right there in the dorm room, but he preferred to use the lab printers rather than borrow it. That may reflect the convenience of the lab printers and/or the culture at Mudd. Note that homework is a social activity at Mudd; you may do a lot of it in Platt, a suite or lounge, or some other shared space. So you may not be in your dorm room when you want to print something. :)</p>

That was what I thought too, but it looks like geek_son’s first aid kit came back unopened. He used Tylenol and the cold sore medicine, neither of which was part of the kit. I think a first aid kit is one of those things that are nice to have around just in case, but I suspect his “2/3 of stuff to leave at home” list will include the first aid kit. <em>shrug</em></p>
