<p>If you get into BS, what would be some of the stuff you need to buy. For example: Laptop, dress code clothes, what else?</p>

<p>We'll be starting the Master List of What to Bring after acceptance letters come out. But if you google this topic, there're a few articles on it!</p>

<p>Just check out this thread, which really does live up to its title. It was very helpful to us last summer:</p>

And standing lamps are really helpful along with tons of posters (Within fire code, lol) and a really comfy chair (assuming you have space)</p>
