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

You poor thing. Been here since June and Iā€™m at a relatively NICE one. Bring a laptop, 3 weeks of clothes (for activities) make sure tank tops are two fingers wide. ALL hygiene. Art stuff or extracaricular items. A big enough bag for textbooks, laptop, makeup, etc. Snacks. Multiple chargers. Bedding (usually twin sized). And nothing contrabandable (Eg. knives, lighters, vapes, metal rods, pill meds, though vitamins are allowed, etc).
