<p>birth control>? A mom having a heart attack here- these are 14 yr olds right>>>???</p>

22

<p>Sorry. I got this off of a college list! I edited a LOT of stuff, did not get everything… I don’t even see BC on the list, though.</p>

23

<p>Condoms/birth control pills/contraceptives etc.</p>

<p>Under the Cs. I’m sure there are older students who may need to bring it- just not the freshman/preps I HOPE!! It’s a good reminder for safe sex anyway!</p>

<p>Before bringing anything, check how much space is available. Please absolutely check the BS policy. You would be amazed how many things on the list above are banned and will confiscated due to health, fire or building code issued. Principleviolins list is not a must have shopping list - it is “everything but the kitchen sink” that you can use to prioritize your needs, balanced with school policy. It is a great starting point, but all of that won’t fit in your room.</p>

<p>And you don’t have to bring everything at one time. UPS sends care packages. Plenty of people show up with two suitcases and do just fine.</p>

25

<p>Right :]</p>

<p>Are rooms usually hardwood or carpet?</p>

26

<p>they’re normally carpet.</p>

27

<p>Alright, thanks :)</p>

<p>I personally like carpet better, which is good in this case. But now it’s more prone to stains…what if you can’t get them out?</p>

28

<p>aren’t the carpets a dark color so that it doesn’t matter if you spill stuff or not?</p>

29

<p>I’m not too sure, since when I went to my interview/tour they never showed me an actual room…</p>

30

<p>i remember all of the dorms i visited had dark blue or dark green carpets.</p>

31

<p>Okay, thanks :)</p>

32

<p>no prob! 10 char…</p>

33

<p>I’m curious, is it better to bring all these things with you or wait until you get there.</p>

34

<p>Honestly, that list looks more like a college list. There’s another thread that discusses what to bring to BS.</p>
