Help me make a list of things a college freshman needs!
Original post by brooklynbridezilla
It's official, my sister is going to Johns Hopkins on a full scholarship! I'm so proud of her. She's studying Mechanical Engineering.
SO she's headed for dorm life, and I'm putting together a list of things she will need. please add anything you think will be useful. Thank you!

A good dicitonary and an MLA Guide.
I also find 'research papers for dummies' was a good resource when I was feeling stuck on a paper. It really breaks it down
or APA. I only wrote a handful of paper's in MLA, most were in APA.

I would hold off on a calculator--in my calc. classes they always required specific models (I was the old school TI-83)...
