i have a printer i am bringing, how did everyone transport their printer. I am afraid that if i check it inside my suitcase in the airport, they will just chuck it like every other luggage or put luggage on top of it. My laptop i will carry as a carry on so that should be fine

There are at least 3 printers for sale from fifth semester students. You better off buying one here than trying to transport one.

Clean underware. And comfortable sandals.

Yes, clean underwear is fairly important.

Groceries are a bit more expensive than in the US (greens and fruits though are really marked up, cost/benefit ratio had me loading up on steaks than salad), though not prohibitvely so. With the loans you're taking out, as long as you're not the type of go clubbing every weekend and buying seris of shots and drinks at bars, and hitting the PR, you'll have more than enough money.

Though you could just spend $9 at the Thai place, get a lot of pad thai and that'll last you for the day.

In the lab you will wear closed toe shoes only. All the purchases you make you can pay in dollars. It is ~55c/1NAF. It varies in some places.

What is 55c? Does that mean 55 cents to every 1NAF? What does NAF stand for?
