<p>You will get a packet in the mail with everything you need to know to order your computer from UVa Cavalier Computers. Also, the packet will include dorm supplies-fridge, microwave, bedding, etc. When you go to your orientation in the summer there is a ‘fair’ of sorts in Newcomb for everything you need to know about or do. Parents and students should attend.</p>
<p>Also, be sure to check out the first year thread that is stickied at the top of the page…there is lots of good info in there!</p>
