Things to bring and things to leave at home
It may seem far off now but you will all be arriving here in no time and we can’t wait.
SHOPPING, I am sure is at the top of the list …clothes, room items and decorations!
As you pack for school, remember you are sharing space and it is limited. YOUR ROOMMATE, you ask? Yes, we are determining that and it is so exciting, as you will meet them on Registration Day!
YOUR ROOM? Each room has a closet, dresser, desk and chair and a bed.
The COMMUNITY GUIDE will provide you with more information and will be available by the end of July.
Here are a few things to start thinking of as you get ready to come to Gould.
