What
to Bring?

Many new
students wonder about what they will need to bring along with them when
they come to Eastern. This is a list of items designed to make your stay
at Eastern more enjoyable. The items contained in this list are suggestions,
you may not need all of them, and you can always bring other personal
keepsakes. It is a good idea to contact your roommate before coming the
Eastern so that you may share the larger appliances-one student can bring
the TV and the other can provide the microwave.
