Yasemin’s Answer

Hi Cassidy! I agree with previous answers! A laptop is important; the college/university that you attend can also provide one for rental. My university would allow us to rent for four hours, after the time was up we could rent again with a return of the first laptop. It is part of the tuition you pay! I also would bring sanitation supplies too, like hand sanitizer, antibacterial wipes, and tissues as well. I had a small bookshelf for my books to keep them organized so that is also beneficial!

Best of luck!

Richard’s Answer

Since you included the hashtag medicine I assume you are interested in entering the medical field.

Pick a major that interests you so you don't mind devoting a majority of your hours to studying. You will need to get good grades in college in order to apply for medical school. At the medical school I attended, the average GPA is reported to be 3.85, so even one or two B's can hurt your chances of acceptance.
Aside from this, any major is acceptable as long as you complete the prerequisite courses. I chose to major in biochemistry because there was overlap with the premed requirements and I wanted to complete my degree in 3 years.
Typical medical school prerequisites include:
Biology: Lecture – 4 semesters; Lab – 1 semester
General Chemistry: Lecture – 2 semesters; Lab – 1 semester
Organic Chemistry: Lecture – 2 semesters; Lab – 1 semester
Biochemistry: Lecture – 1 semester
General Physics: Lecture – 2 semesters; Lab – 1 semester
Math: Statistics – 1 semester
English: Rhetoric (Composition) and Literature – 2 semesters

Bryce’s Answer

Hi Cassidy,

That is a great question and it kind of depends on your situation. If you are living on campus then you will need a lot more than if you are living at home. First off, you will need normal dorm room things like bedding (twin XL), hangers, possible storage bins, maybe a TV, and other things you desire for your room. If you have a kitchen in your room or nearby you may want a couple cups, plates, silver ware, and cookware. Lastly, you will need bathroom stuff like towels, curtain, bath mat, and so on. Also, don't forget cleaning supplies and a broom or vacuum. From a school standpoint you probably will need a laptop and maybe a binder or folders to help stay organized with your classes.
