School Supplies:

• Sturdy backpack – Something that can survive four months of hauling heavy textbooks around.
• Notebooks, pens, paper, hi-liters, 2-inch binders, colored pens and pencils (#2 for exams), index cards.
• Ear plugs – for studying & sleeping.
• Day Planner

• Personal Calculators with square root function. (Expensive calculators are unnecessary for undergraduate, graduate, veterinary or medical students.)
• Science students will need two white lab coats. Medical and Veterinary students will need lab coats or scrubs. These may be purchased at the bookstore, however if coming from outside of the Caribbean it is recommended that you purchase these before leaving home. This may be less expensive. Scrubs are more comfortable, however, medical students will need a lab coat for microbiology.

Clothing:

• Adequate wardrobe for four months of campus life. Washing machines are available on campus. For those coming from cold climates remember to pack light clothing (summer weight shirts, shorts, jeans, bathing suits.)*

• Sandals, flip-flops, sneakers
• Light raincoat/poncho and umbrella
• Sweater/sweatshirt (air-conditioned lecture halls can be cold.)
• Medical and Veterinary Students: A jacket/tie or a sundress/light dress for the White Coat Ceremony.
• Medical Students: Sundress/trousers to wear in clinical skills during visits to the outlying District Health Office.
• Do not bring overly formal clothing – you will live in casual summer clothing. On a side note, some special events may require formal dress, and men may be required to wear, if not a suit coat, at least a long-sleeved dress shirt and tie.
