August: Prepare For Your New Environment
- Start planning your classes.
-
Search online for deals or used books. Consider renting books to save money (sites like amazon.com).
-
You may want a laptop and other school supplies.
-
Buy essentials, from toiletries to towels and sheets. Check to see if you need extra-long twin sheets because many dorms require this size.
-
Decide who is bringing what for common living areas, such as a microwave, TV and refrigerator.
- Technology (laptops, etc.), insurance, online newspaper subscriptions, and services such as Amazon Prime or Spotify may be cheaper for students.
- Start networking with other students on social media.
- Explore local restaurants, where to buy books, etc.
