Packing for Your Trip: Some airlines charge a fee to check a bag. Either bring a carry-on bag (included with your ticket) or be prepared with cash or a credit card to pay a fee to check a bag. You can check the airline website for their policy regarding baggage sizes and checked bag fees. A fee for a checked bag will not be paid by Dartmouth, so we recommend bringing a carry-on bag instead.
Please bring clothing you'll be comfortable in. We recommend layers and comfortable shoes.
You will be hosted overnight in a residence hall room (possibly on the floor, a couch, or an extra bed). Please bring a sleeping bag or other bedding.
No need to bring a computer—we'll have notebooks and pens here for you.
