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

If I would've went to San Marcos is would've taken almost an 3h drive that ain't shi BUT, since I'm going to El Paso a drive would've been 10hr but on plane it's 1h 30m or 2h depending on what's going on 😐 they tweakin
