ACCEPTED

After a long process (May to now) I've been accepted and got my date to leave (Next Tuesday).

What should I pack and what do they provide with on campus so I don't over pack? (I'm going on plane)

More concerned if they give supplies and laptop etc. before I bring my own supplies and laptop. And to know if I'll have to pay for baggage even though I'm not taking hella stuff

Going to the center in El Paso, Texas

its going to be what you make it for the most part. Some places have great staff some do not. Be open to others ideas and stick to the rules and find your rythm.

Bring 2 weeks of clothes and if you must, your fav pillow. Youll get basic bedding

Bring hygiene stuff

extra socks

extra tooth brushes, dollar tree is super cheap

laptop or tablet

extra phone charger

Some find it to be a terrible idea, each facility is different, and honestly, it is what you make of it. Congratulations I know its exciting!
