1. Ear plugs or headphones
If you’re living in Thurston Hall, you won’t be in short supply of noises to keep you awake – from the clatter of high heels in the stairwell to the sound of beer cans crashing in the elevator. Keep the clamor at bay with earplugs or a set of headphones.
2. Air freshener
Before you become accustomed to the smell of musty carpet and burnt microwave meals, get in the habit of spraying your room with a layer of air freshener.
3. Fan
A fair warning: GW will turn off the air conditioning too early in the fall and switch it back on too late in the spring.
4. Folding chair
You may love Thurston as a social haven, but you won’t enjoy your neighbors plopping down on your bed every time they barge into your room for a visit. Keep a folding chair handy for when they do.
