<p>So now that I’m definitely going to Brown, I’m left wondering… what should I pack?</p>
<p>I realize that the actual packing is months away. But the purchase of things to pack is not. And as a kid from MD, I have no idea what I’ll need in RI!</p>
<p>Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!</p>
<p>well definitely bring warm clothing. it's been snowing so much up here, and providence is pretty windy since it's next to the ocean, and being on top of a hill just makes it colder. scarf, warm coat, gloves, hat, sweaters, and you're all set!</p>
<p>as far as dorm stuff, i'm still figuring that out haha</p>
<p>Thanks! Does the snow make a bike pretty much extraneous? And are there any brands of boots you recommend?</p>
<p>Sorry to say, but sometimes google is a better friend then CC...</p>
<p>Ha good point. I'll try that too. Just trying to get some opinions from people who actually live there.</p>
<p>Yay MDers going to Brown!!</p>
<p>You too??? Where in MD?</p>
<p>MoCo! You?</p>
<p>Fredneck : )</p>
<p>excellent :)</p>
<p>if you check weather.com and such, it makes it look like it's only about 5 degrees cooler year-round in Providence than it is here. Not so bad at all.</p>
<p>Yeah, I've been an obsessive weather-checker too. They get more snow, though : ) </p>
<p>All of that hype about the Big Bad North is just hype after all!</p>
