<p>In the confirmation e-mail I got from the admissions office, it says:

Please be sure to bring a book or your own school work to do during this time. You will also need to bring a sleeping bag, pillow, towel, change of clothes, any necessary toiletries, a photo ID, and cash for incidental expenses and meals.

Will we be sleeping on somebody's floor? The sleeping bag and pillow thing rather surprised me. Are these things really necessary?</p>
<p>Yes, they are necessary because I don't think any one is giving up their bed for you. It is not an unusual request as Daughter had to take a sleeping bag and pillow to every school she visted last year.</p>
<p>I know last year they got meal vouchers (even though nothing is really expensive in Hanover).</p>
<p>At Dartmouth, she and her roommate live in 3 room quad (2 double bedrooms, common area and bath) and they have a futon in their common area (so hopefully their guest will not be sleeping on the floor).</p>
<p>From what my daughter told me they are getting ready for midterms (hence the reason they may want you to bring a book or school work). </p>
<p>In addition many of you willbe going back to take your AP's the beginning of may and will have to catch up on school work from the whirlwind college visits. I think that they also gave out food vouchers or meal cards last year also. </p>
<p>(P.S. to those that are staying with my kid she said she has no problem feeding you as she never fully spends her DBA).</p>
<p>Yep..I've done a fly-in program b4...you'll def be on the floor...sleeping bag is a must.</p>
<p>It ain't a hotel kido...its a dorm room.</p>
