<p>Self-explanatory.</p>
<p>If you're going to one this summer, what do you plan on bringing?</p>
<p>If you've been to one before, what did you bring? What do you need the most? What did you not need at all?</p>
<p>I went to one last year. It differs from program. For me, I had to bring sheets (they provided mattresses), clothes, paper, pencil, (they provided the textbooks), maybe some food if you want to save big bucks, your car, obvious things, oh, and a study lamp. </p>
<p>My roommate brought his x-box (go figure) and that was my entertainment on weekends and free time. </p>
<p>Which one are you going to?</p>

<p>Damn that took a long time to write. I hope this helps with general ideas of what to bring. Definently bring food, cuz dinner is only once a day, and after that, you're on your own with food. At least that was the deal at my last summer program.</p>
<p>I'm headed off to Stanford's High School Summer Program.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help, guys, and keep it coming!</p>
