** Girls: baseball cap
 
** Boys: Fake hair/ hair extensions
 
* Fan (electric) - Huesman or Doheny are unbearably hot; Whelan & Rosecrans are better, and Desmond is by far the best (Desmond, however, is not perfect. Depending on the year, Desmond residents may need to use a fan every day or never.)

* Ghost Stories
 
* Laundry basket/hamper/bag
 
* Power strip/extension cord -- power outlets may be hard to find.
 
* Laundry detergent, and roughly $10 worth of quarters --  for doing laundry (laundry machines take somewhere around $1.25 for the washer and dryer, however the extra-large machines take around $1.50-$1.75)
 
* iPhone or iPod Touch -- JHU runs a guest wi-fi network
 
* A non-trivial amount of spending money -- your RA group can visit many restaurants (including Chipotle, which is incredibly expensive), the local Barnes and Noble bookstore, a local movie theater, and the Inner Harbor stores over the weekends. You can also get Chinese take-out, which costs money. The Book Thing, however, takes no money (The Book Thing is a warehouse-sized store where you can get books of all genres for free. It's a bit of a walk, though.)
 
* Musical instruments and/or piano sheet music -- you will be able to practice during some activity periods in JHU's music rooms
 
* Something to do outside after lunch period -- this usually includes books, frisbees, or footballs, because you are not allowed back in the dorms between lunch and the afternoon class
 
 
 
===Bristol===
 
*A lot of nice clothes for dances, Casino Night etc.
 
*No need for desk lamp (school work isn't allowed in the dorms)

*Multiple Sharpies of assorted color for t-shirt signing
 
*Lots of money for pizza (Domino's) and Chinese take-out for after dances and Casino Night
 
*Perhaps a soccer ball or tennis racquet (be careful of confiscation)

*Bug-Spray
 
*More sweatshirts, pants and blankets than you think necessary
 
**The site is near the ocean so you get a lot of breeze

===Easton===
 
 
 
* Clothes of every color for Swashbuckler (Colors/teams: red, black, white, blue, orange/yellow "Reese's", green, pink, purple)
 
* At least 10 pairs of underwear in case you run short before Laundry Day
 
*''' NOT''' a desk lamp - we don't even do homework in our dorms
 
** I disagree. Although we don't do homework, desk lamps are great for providing light during sleepovers/ISOs.

* Expo Markers to write on the white-board on your dorm door, or on other peoples', or even your RA. (see Illuminati wars from 16.2)
 
* Guys: Bring a lot of cologne and nice clothing for the dances. DONT MAKE OUT IN THE UPSTAIRS FARINON BATHROOM!
 
* SPOONS: Blammo is very likely, so bringing unofficial decoy spoons is a good idea.
 
* BRING WATER. The only functioning water fountains in Keefe are in the basement. The tap is fine to drink, however.
 
* For those of you taking Great Cases- PLEASE bring appropriate clothing for field trips.
