Packing Questions

Hey all!

I have a couple of questions to ask about clothes and packing at BS. If you could answer any I’d be very pleased!

  • Around how many clothes should I bring? Typically, how many do you guys bring?
  • Are there any (types of) clothes or items that are of unknown importance? (Basically, what are the items that most BS students forget to pack even though they prove to be useful later on?)
  • Any cool deals and specific clothing shops that are pretty good places to buy clothes at?

Thanks everyone! :slight_smile:

As far as clothes for you, there are lots and lots of threads here for you to search. And while I could dig through past posts to discern the information about you, it would help others who don’t have the time/energy to search if you provided basic information. e.g.

What school? Or if you don’t want to identify for privacy reasons, what state? Formal dress code or not?

Do you identify as male or female? I’ll assume female, since in my 4 years moderating, I don’t think a single dude has asked this question. :slight_smile:

Again, look through past threads like:

@skieurope
Thank you for the quick reply. I’m just asking general questions that can apply to all boarding school students, not only me. I didn’t know that it should’ve required specifics.

As for the clothing shops I thought it would be okay to post in a list of questions, especially as it pertains to current deals but I get that I could’ve posted it elsewhere. My apologies.

You’re not. But it makes the thread flow easier.

In which case, threads on the topic exist, so closing this one.
