should we buy all of our stuff before or after orientation?

<p>Does MIT provides a lamp for each student? I seriously need it as I will come to MIT for FPOPs and there will be no one to wake me up on time (I use a lamp as my alarm clock)。</p>

<p>Also , is there a Kohl store near to MIT because I have a gift card and I want to use it?</p>

<p>Shouldn’t there be a MIT-specific list of what to bring, so we all can know what to pack and what not to pack. The list of what to pack somwhere on CC forum is nice, but not MIT specific, such as do I need to bring cooking supplies, mini refrigerator, etc?</p>
