<p>Helpful!</p>
<p>good job mavitale! now that we can move on from obsessing about orientation, we can now obsesses about packing and pre-ordering!</p>
<p>Just looking over the list prompts me to say that it has always amazed me that Tulane does not provide a trash can in the dorm rooms - none. So when the list says waste basket, I recommend getting a tall kitchen trash can along with a small wastebasket for under the desk.</p>
<p>Hahaha… yes… sorry!!! I have to start obsessing now because my son leaves for camp on Thursday, not back until August 14th. So I’m going to be doing a lot of this on my own if I don’t want to wait until the last minute.</p>
<p>GREAT advice about the trash can! Although maybe the bigger the can, the more garbage will get accumulated. Then again, knowing my son, nothing will make it into the can anyway. 0_o</p>
<p>Not to be so self-involved, and while generally helpful, BB&B omits at least one dorm (Butler). Bizarre!</p>
<p>I noticed that!!!</p>
<p>You should contact Tulane housing and point this out to them. Obviously an oversight. Someone there must be responsible for maintaining this page.</p>
<p>It also doesn’t list it as Wall, but as the old name Zemurray.</p>
<p>mavitale ~ How awesome you are !!! Thanks for the list link.</p>
<p>My son gave me access to his Gibson email while he’s away and now I know the deadlines. I guess we have a bit to do once he gets back later this week. I had been nagging him about the roommate thing.</p>
<p>Such an exciting time…</p>
<p>ok skier…now you have me nervous. what “deadlines” are you talking about?</p>
<p>The deadlines are on the Tulane website. Go here: [Tulane</a> University - Parents Newsletters](<a href=“http://tulane.edu/studentaffairs/orientation/parent/newsletter.cfm]Tulane”>http://tulane.edu/studentaffairs/orientation/parent/newsletter.cfm) to Important Dates and Deadlines. It has live links to wherever you need to be.</p>
<p>In the meantime, I printed out the Bed, Bath and Beyond checklist and however they did the HTML, the CHECKMARKS don’t print!! Dumb!!</p>
<p>Sometimes the email icon is missing from Gibson… I’m planning to check my son’s email as well this summer as he’ll be busy working at camp. Still no NOLA Experience news…</p>
<p>mavitale ~ check again!!! My S is in :D</p>
<p>You can get to the email link from the main Tulane website, upper left hand corner.</p>
