A PROFESSIONAL'S CHOICE - Alvin has been the professional's choice for drafting tools and drawing supplies for over half a century. We are known for our wide selection of high quality tools at a fair price.TOP GRADE STAINLESS STEEL - Made of the finest quality stainless steel and has rounded corner; stainless steel, metallic in color, 12 inches.SMART AND INNOVATIVE - The back of the ruler is lined with cork to make sure that it does slip or move. And the inches and metric calibration are etched into the surface of the ruler.FLEXIBLE AND WATERPROOF - its flexible enough to measure curved surfaces. The cork is water resistant and raised the ruler above work surface.SMUDGELESS LINES - With the cork elevating the ruler you can create fine line without smudging your paper.
Bring a tiny stapler. Lots of the printers don't have staplers by them anymore because you can tell it to staple in the settings but who has time for that.
Engineering paper, notebooks, a nice metal ruler, binders if you truly think you're going to use them (and 3 hole punch), something to write assignments/etc in if you think that's helpful to you, a good eraser (I like kneaded ones), you'll need a non-programmable calc for 1101 if you're taking it (TI-34, like $10), index cards for studying, binder clips are the absolute best for everything. Post it tabs are awesome for marking up books that you might sell back.
Check with your roommate(s) about who's got a fridge, microwave, possible TV/gaming system/etc so you don't both bring them. (ALSO A BOX FAN!) Same if someone's got a futon. Flat pack is good if you might not need/want it, you can shove it under a bed or something. Some folks like rugs, I know the carpet in some rooms is pretty gross. If you're in McNair you can probably live without a fridge, there are full size ones in the kitchenettes and people are pretty good about respecting labels. They also have decent sized TVs in the kitchenettes (basically McNair has the best kitchenettes). I've heard and experienced both ends of the spectrum for Wads - kitchenettes only have minifridges anyway, and the suites come with them.
Make sure your boots, coat, snowpants are both warm and waterproof, you can spray them with silicone spray if you're not sure. (Especially if you're planning on helping with snow statues during Carni). I recommend Columbia and/or Mountain Hard Wear, had good experiences with both. A balaclava type thing is definitely a good choice, plus an assortment of hats/gloves/etc for different weather/days/whatever. Wet gloves are not fun. Get ski goggles or similar, you'll thank me later.
Quarters for the dryer, don't bother with one of those pop up laundry hampers, get a decent bag or just bring the stereotypical laundry basket - I've seen many of these, and I have one myself, and it's lasted more than five years. Just put your name on it or something so somebody doesn't think it's theirs.
Dumb stuff you might not think about: extension cords, power strips, ethernet splitter/switch (only 1 port per room which kind of sucks), stuff like WD-40, super glue, goo-gone, magic eraser, zip ties, flip flops for the shower, shower caddy/bucket, a mirror (if in Wads), (not) duct tape, 3M hooks for all the things, poster putty/sticky tack... a cool/funny/weird hat if you're planning on joining pep band, your instrument if the above may apply to you, hockey/etc equipment for broomball (look for stuff early for the best deals)...
