Packing
If you are staying on campus, your room will be equipped with linens, pillows, towels, soap, and lightweight blankets. You may wish to bring along an alarm clock, smartphone charger/dock, pair of flip-flops, extension cord, extra coat hangers, or hair dryer.
Depending on your planned activities, you and your family may also wish to bring beach towels, bathing suits, and sports equipment and apparel, including white-soled or nonmarking sneakers for use in the indoor athletic facilities.
Attire
The general dress code during the day is casual and comfortable (and comfortable walking shoes are recommended). For evening events, the dress code is more festive. Please refer to your class schedule. You should also bear in mind the vagaries of New England weather and bring sweaters, sweatshirts, windbreakers, and rain gear, especially an umbrella. Since many evening activities will be spent on grass, low-heeled shoes are recommended.
