how far are grocery stores from campus?

Do you recommend staying on or off campus after the 1st term?

if you don't have a family, or pets or any other legit reason you have to stay on campus for the first term... but I heard from someone in housing that we will all be on the True Blue campus at least...

anybody think a scanner might be useful? I have a canoscan that i use a lot and its not that big to bring.

The main grocery store (IGA) is about a 10 minute bus ride (school buses are free and pick you up from campus and stop at the store). The other popular store (Foodfair) is a 10 minute bus ride plus a 10 minute walk.

Staying on or off campus is really a personal decision (and luck in the lottery). There's literally hundreds of apartments (dozens of buildings) within a half-hour's walk of campus, so it's not really a big deal. (I find living on campus to be noisy and expensive, so I'm moving next term - already found a place, but a lot of people prefer it.)

And I don't think a scanner would be useful (I've never felt the need to use one, and I don't know anyone who has) but if you already use it a lot and think you might need it, by all means haul it along.

Is bringing a printer down to Grenada worth it?...or do you guys do most of your printing (notes, etc) at the library, and is it free?

Notes were handed in the form of thick packets in class. Other stuff I just read off of my laptop screen. I only printed documents I needed to hand in at the library (however, with increased enrollment I wonder how crowded the library is these days). The printer will be bulky and take up space in your luggage best suited for other items.

Okay, thank you!!

Are they places to get a cheap haircut in GND, or should we bring our own hair cutting machine - I buzz my hair short?

There was a place on the right side of the road (2nd building outside of SGU gates) that I used to go to. I only paid 15-20 EC plus a 5 EC tip (included trimming of facial hair also). I only went twice a semester since I got a buzz cut ( I would advise that since it's so hot).
