Students who have a favorite type of pen, pencil, writing paper, etc. should bring a sufficient supply of these as well as soap, cosmetics, prescription medications, and other personal expendables (though most of these can be purchased on or near campus).  Students may bring their own alarm clocks, small radios, MP3 players, etc., but no televisions, large stereos, or refrigerators, are permitted.  Computers and printers are available on campus but many students prefer to bring their own because computer labs have specific hours of operation which may not be compatible with their free time.

The Governor's School will arrange for the loan of equipment for group sports and several other recreation activities. You should bring swimsuits and large towels, tennis equipment, running shoes, etc. Please feel free to bring other sports equipment you may have time to use.  It is much easier to bring them with you than it is to have them sent later.

If you play musical instruments we encourage you to bring them.  If you have talents in other performing skills you may wish to bring any associated equipment.  We will try to organize a talent show for students and staff in an open time slot.
