<p>Besides the general toiletries and bedding.....what things are most important to bring, and what are items you think are good to have (not necessarily a must-have).....oh, and what to leave behind. Any and all input is much appreciated. Thanks. Oh, I am in a double on the first floor of Battell, if that helps with suggestions.</p>
<p>There are a bunch of "what to pack/what not to pack" threads in the Parents' Forum - lots of good info there.</p>
<p>I really meant specifically for Midd....but thanks, i'll check those threads out too.</p>
<p>If you're in a first floor double in Battell, I recommend earplugs!</p>
<p>winter clothes...lots and lots of winter clothes!</p>
<p>a printer is also necessary because printing is a huge problem on campus. dorms don't have printers, and it really becomes a pain to run to the library or the computer center when you need an immediate printout before class or late at night. just buy a cheap printer and use it for four years.
also, try to bring all the stuff you have that you think may need, because it's hard to find stuff in midd. it's a very small town, there're only a couple of stores you might buy stuff from and variety is scarce.</p>
<p>A new Sears is opening in Middlebury in November. That should make it easier to find some necessities.</p>
