What To Pack

Below are some suggestions on general items to be mindful of when packing. At this time I do not seem to be able to bring up the "Packing List" under Student Protocol in the OnBoard Site. If anyone can bring up that page please forward it on to me. But until then, here are some items you might begin to think about. Just remember that at or next meeting we will be discussing packing more in depth.

**Be aware that this list may change and we may be a bit more specific on some things.

**Also, at our April meeting I will bring a scale so you can weigh your suitcase. I have never offered this up but think it might be fun. It can be a trial run for you to pack your suitcase and see what it weighs. I can also bring it to the BonVoyage in May as well if someone want to do it then.
