<p>Well I'm thinking of shipping it out, perhaps a week earlier. I dunno if Duke accepts early shipments, so I'll have to wait and see.</p>
<p>Ah well they handle stuff kinda rough (rhymes!)</p>
<p>Sure it will work out tho..</p>
<p>I'll prolly buy one there itself..and give this one away to a frend or somethin g:p</p>
<p>well I am leaving soon in about a week....so how much money should I carry for expenses and buying essentials? I am getting $ 500 for immediate expenses...do you think this will be enough? I already paid for the dorm and the meal plan.</p>
<p>You'll need more than that if you're planning to buy a laptop there.</p>
<p>Princeton tells intls to carry $1500 minimum</p>
<p>Ideally you should carry a credit card :p</p>
<p>To be on the safer side, you shud carry about a grand... </p>
<p>N yea cors if you have major expenses like a laptop n all, that calls for more cash..</p>
<p>yeah I already have a laptop and I am getting a allowance for $ 300 a month on top of $ 500....hopefully this will be enough for the cell phone, internet connection, supplies and books.</p>
<p>oh yeah, onE more thing, how can I get a bank account in the US?</p>
<p>You go to a bank, give them a deposit (usually they have a minimum of $100 to open an account), and then you have your account. There's paperwork, but the whole thing is very simple.</p>
<p>take ur passport with yea !! ( jst stating the obvious lol )</p>
