College packing list?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I was wondering if there was a college packing list for Muir or UCSD incoming freshmen?</p>

<p>UCSD has a general list of what to bring but I’d think it over and bring other stuff too. Think about what you use daily and totally couldn’t live without (aka toiletries but I suppose you can buy them there).</p>

<p>[UC</a> San Diego Housing Rates and Services](<a href=“http://hdh.ucsd.edu/housing/value.asp#provide]UC”>http://hdh.ucsd.edu/housing/value.asp#provide)</p>

<p>Oh, and there was another thread somewhere on this forum about what people were bringing.</p>

<p>vyoung got it all R-DNA, any special items you were concerned about?</p>

<p>^^^what the heck lol, isn’t it that chemical thing that suppresses tension and calms down your neurons?</p>

<p>no no, my bad. I meant the supplement to ease out the tension, I know GABA is in your brain already. Does it have any side effects?</p>

<p>hmmm, I think I will search for it tomorrow and order some.</p>

<p>^ what is wrong with this guy why is he having a conversation with himself lol</p>

<p>Lol. A ■■■■■ was posting earlier and his posts got deleted.</p>

<p>definitely don’t bring everything on this list because you won’t need most of it (i had boxes of stuff that i put under my bed when i moved in and i didn’t look at any of it again until i moved out), but it’s a good idea to read over the list because it probably mentions something really obvious that slipped your mind.</p>

<p>why would I have conversation with myself? there was this user named Muscle7sDaddy and I was having conversations with him about the GABA supplement but I warned him about using some obscene words on CC that are being tracked by the CC filters, he used one of them and got deleted.</p>

<p>ohh crap sorry sync hahah</p>

<p>for our laptops…do we need to bring a cable to connect to the internet?
or is it okay to connect using wifi?</p>

<p>nvm, i found the answer in other threads, i can use wifi or a ethernet cable…</p>

<p>^Would def recommend bringing a cable… in some college res halls (Muir and I think Revelle) wireless is nonexistent and in others (ERC) it’s slow at times.</p>

<p>okay, that’s good to know…thanks =]</p>

<p>do you know what length i should i get?
i’ve seen some as short as 3 feet or 10 feet
then some that are super long like 50 feet
i feel like i should get a super long one for just-in-case situations, and a normal one for regular use.</p>

<p>WIRELESS IS NON EXISTENT IN MUIR?! but why?</p>

<p>And thanks for the input guys!</p>

<p>And what exactly is buying up a dining plan supposed to mean? Arent dining services part of our housing contract and housing fees? :S</p>

<p>@x3anna - I think mine is like 5 or 7 feet long. I’ve never needed a longer one haha.
@R-DNA - Only in the Muir res halls (and Revelle, I believe) it’s hard to get a wireless signal, because of the very thick cinder block/cement walls that were clearly popular in the 60s when Muir was built!
Yes, dining services are part of your housing contract. You will automatically get $2795 to spend throughout the year. If you find that this is not enough, you can buy up to the $3255 plan. Or you can add random dining dollars throughout the year.</p>

<p>For me personally, the amount of dining $ that they gave me was more than enough - I literally could not spend them fast enough. But some of my guy friends were $200 or 300 short by spring quarter.</p>

<p>heres the important things you need <a href=“i%20lived%20in%20muir%20last%20year”>cant mention them all</a></p>

<p>-laptop+lock (buy it online since cheaper)
-pillow+sheets
-ethernet (may need up to 20-30 feet since your desk might be at the opposite corner of the internet plug)
-clothes+towel+regular stuff (just dont overpack really. if you live in LA, even easier since you can go home often)
-a load of quarters. trust me, these are gold. and suitemates are bound to borrow some from you. they also raised the prices on the laundry machines by 25 cents each.
-printer</p>

<p>-debit card [ralphs and office max? or staples? cant remember. are close by]</p>
