<p>Essence - welcome to Baltimore! Hopkins?</p>
<p>You need to distingush between (a) moving expenses, (b) school expenses, and (c) living expenses. Only the first is one-time, the rest need to be budgeted into your monthly/annual expenses.</p>
<p>My list of must haves:
a) Moving
Truck
Trailer (if moving a car)
Hand truck
ropes/straps
blankets (furniture padding)
boxes / tape / packing material
Road supplies
GARMAN - an absolute lifesaver, esp. in Baltimore!
Hotels
Big burly men - my wife and I are hiring some undergrads to move the furniture.
Security deposit money
funds/resources to arrange an apartment</p>
<p>b) School
Computer and accessories
New Textbooks ($500+ / semester)
Old Textbooks (from undergrad)
Sundries (pens, paper, …)
Bike (best way to cross campus)</p>
<p>c) Living
The only thing different than anyone else is the poverty and the insurance</p>
<p>What is your field, and where are you going to live?</p>
