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)...

There is one ethernet jack activated per room, typically the top right jack(black) on the same faceplate as your cable TV connection. There are lots of jacks in the rooms but not all of them are active, just a single one. (it would cost a small fortune to activate every single jack in every residence hall room because each active jack needs to lead back to a port on a very expensive large switch)

As others have said you can hook a 5+ port switch(try to get a un-managed switch and not a smart switch) Something like https://www.amazon.com/D-Link-Unmanaged-Metal-Desktop-Switch/dp/B007DHWPR4/


The speed is 100mb. You do need to register your devices with the link shared earlier:

You need to register your devices so we know who's devices are who's when somebody does something stupid like download copyrighted material or attempt to download the entirety of the internet and clog up the internet tubes. If you don't register your devices you won't be able to go anywhere... It's pretty standard Network Access Control procedures, you're basically saying you're the responsible adult for the thing you're connecting to the internet.

Pro tip: if you were looking for a snow brush fuck those dont buy them.

​

For the amount of snow we get here, get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075TWG8N1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

you can get entire vehicles from one side, and its much faster to push everything off than try to brush it.

That's just the "boys are going to be boys" defense. My point is that the iconography is white-caucasian ethnocentric and grounded in racist tropes. Sure there were dark-skinned prehistoric humans but outside of "Clan of the Cave Bear" those have been rarely represented in popular media. Skin color has long been used to indicate "primitiveness". What's more: Agassiz (we have a boat name after him) believed in phrenology and that those of African descent were inferior to caucasiansr. For a college like MTU (lots of attached racial baggage) to approve such a tableau is just insensitive. Also, again, restating, Agassiz was a grade A racist asshole and we should not have a "research" vessel named after him.
