Just
For Parents :: What to Bring
Informal
clothing is appropriate for all
activities. The weather may vary from
hot and dry to cool and wet. A
lightweight jacket should be sufficient
for cooler evenings. Students should
also bring rain gear in case of
inclement weather. Spending money is not
required but is strongly recommended.
All instructional material is provided
at no additional cost, but students do
have the opportunity to attend concerts,
golf, bowl, see movies, buy pizza, and
so on. If you would like to participate
in some of these activities, or shop at
the University Bookstore or elsewhere in
the area, some amount of spending money
is encouraged. Extra money, airline
tickets, and other valuables should be
checked in at the reception desk for
safekeeping. Personal checks, money
orders, and traveler's checks can be
cashed at the MTU Cashier's Office
($100.00 limit). Students must be
accompanied by a counselor to cash a
check.
The residence hall provides bedding,
pillows, sheets, and pillowcases.
Washers and dryers are located in the
residence hall; there is a minimal
charge for their use. Students may
purchase detergent at the reception
desk. Students should bring their own
towels, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush,
and other personal items. Fans are
strongly recommended. Counselors can
wake up students in the morning, but an
alarm clock can be helpful. Recreational
equipment is provided for most
activities. Students may bring fishing
gear, ice skates, roller blades, etc.,
but protective equipment must be worn
when necessary. Trips to the beach
and/or pool are planned each evening, so
bring your swimsuit. A detailed
"what to bring" list will be
included in the pre-program mailings.
This list will contain specific
information about each exploration.
***NOTE: Under the Michigan
Occupational Safety and Health Act,
students are required to wear long pants
or a long skirt and closed-toe shoes
while working in any engineering or
science laboratory. NO SANDALS ALLOWED!
All students should bring long pants

activities are not anticipated in their
exploration.
Students who wish to call home during
