For those who will hash (hike with loads of people....you'll see) bring extra pair of sneakers that you don't care about.
Girlie things: nail stuff (though they have opened a few new spa places to get nails done----I still don't trust them)....I still can't find nail polish remover! Also, if you have long hair like me....lots of hair clips (mine always break) and hair bands. Also girls, if you like the little things that Target or Bath and body has to offer, like scrubby and spa things BRING THEM. It's nice to indulge and have a girls night with face masks and deep conditioners after midterms!!
I recommend chap stick with SPF and lots of bug spray!! I swear the mosquito bites here are harsher than the ones I get back home. These are mutant killer mosquitos.
I really didn't need the printer until 2nd term. Definitely colored pens, highlighters, and all office supply stuff you use (hole puncher, stapler, pencil sharpener, etc.)...there's no office depot. And if you bring the printer bring EXTRA ink! It's crazy expensive here. Dry erase board and different colored markers were and are REALLY helpful (for me) to study and re-write pathways. Also those loose ring things (don't know what they are called) to hold loose paper in case you don't want to put everyting in a binder. It's lighter for me to carry and easier to study than a big binder.
Movies, CDs, MP3, for extras if you have room. If you have time and $$ invest in a BIG duffle bag instead of a suitcase. That way the weight goes towards the stuff you want to bring and not a heavy suitcase!
Good luck!
