<p>Questions for you guys about things that most directly relate to a college a long way from home.</p>
<ol>
<li>Visits home. How often? How expensive? Any ways to get great tickets?</li>
</ol>
<p>-I don't go home that often since I'm from NC, but plane tickets aren't that expensive if you do your due diligence--I can get them for around $200 because I look for them during off-peak times on the airlines' websites.</p>
<ol>
<li>Cell phones. Do you have one for home and one for Pomona or do you have nationwide service? Which works best in the Claremont area?</li>
</ol>
<p>-Nationwide service. I have Sprint, which is terrible in a few dorms like Wig, but pretty decent in others like Mudd-Blaisdell.</p>
<ol>
<li>How did you guys get TVs, computers, fans, etc. to Pomona? Did you buy stuff like that once you were there or is there a better method?</li>
</ol>
<p>-It's a lot easier to buy stuff once you're here.</p>
<ol>
<li>Any other thoughts/tips/warnings that would be helpful particularly for those of us who may travel a great distance to Pomona?</li>
</ol>
<p>-Come with your parents in order to maximize the de-facto 2 checked luggage/1 carry-on per person airline policy. It lets you bring a lot more without having to pay shipping costs.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
