<p>Okay, so I've been accepted. One of my first questions are: Does Reed provide linen for bed rooms? </p>
<p>I'd also like to know what you Reedies brought with you to College, and what you think is vital to living at Reed.</p>
<p>I know flipflops in the bathroom is important... I figured that one out upon visiting, lol.</p>
<p>By the way, I'm traveling from Miami, FL to Portland. Anyone from MIA, let me know what you brought, too.</p>

<p>Hi! No, Reed doesn’t supply linens. (Do any schools, any more?) </p>
<p>Things my son considers vital: </p>
<ol>
<li><p>A big fan. Very very important. Not a window fan, because window sizes vary in the dorms and many are narrow sizes. He has a tall thin column fan. </p></li>
<li><p>Powersquid style extension cords. Look it up on Amazon. Much better than powerstrips. </p></li>
<li><p>Waterproof backpack/bag. In Miami, you have rain. In Portland, they have ongoing drizzle/mist with sometimes stronger rain, but almost never as heavy as you see there. You don’t need an umbrella as much as you need waterproof ways to carry your stuff. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>But other than that, the list vossron pointed to is good.</p>
