<p>Another question guys-- does JJ provide heating during the wintertime?</p>
<p>Yup, there are radiators in each room. But if you want it to be warmer, you have to get space heaters from student services.</p>
<p>my take on fridges...yes, the max allowed is 2.5 but mine was 4 ish. No one will stop you from getting as big of a fridge as you want...within reason of course....and keep in mind that the small fridge and the big fridge more or less have the same footprint, the only difference in height.</p>
<p>Shraf, did you end up using the fridge alot, or would a smaller one have sufficed (just for random drinks and whatnot). thanks!</p>
<p>Where would you guys suggest I buy one? I really don't want to get one here and lug it to New York.</p>
<p>There's a housewares store about a block or so from the school that sells refrigerators on/around move in day. I don't know if they deliver or if you can borrow a dolly to get it across Broadway and up to your dorm room.</p>

<p>you should only do this if you feel like getting massively ripped off your first day in NYC.</p>
<p>you can also buy a fridge in the bookstore (they only have a couple)...they have a dolly that you can use to take it to your dorm room.</p>
<p>Don't forget all those CD's that came with your computer--your rebooting CD, your Windows CD, and stuff like that. If you get a virus, you can be kicked off the school's network and you'll have to reboot to be allowed back on. I had to have my parents mail that stuff to me and I was without internet for my computer for two weeks. It was a big mess.</p>
<p>Also, I wouldn't bring books from home. No AP study guides, none of your favorite novels. They're big and bulky, and in my experience, you've got enough reading to do, so save yourself the trouble.</p>

<p>I semi-disagree, i would say that it wouldnt be such a terrible idea to bring a notebook or two for subjects that you feel you will repeat in college or take a similar class. I found that my IBH Math notebooks came in handy at times.</p>
<p>Add graphing calculators to the list. HS math would've been hell without my TI-89, and I'm assuming the same for college.</p>
<p>You can bring your graphing calc but you can't use them in Calc tests.</p>
<p>I wasn't allowed to use it in HS Calc either, but it was just really useful all around.</p>
<p>Shraf is REALLY RIGHT about bringing some formal clothes. you will have opportunities to go to nice dinners or go to some academic symposium, so you'll need a good suit or dress!</p>
<p>Welcome to the board, hl67! Glad to have your contributions.</p>
<p>(seemed like as good a place as any for it)</p>
