GENERAL INFORMATION
- You should plan to bring an additional $500US to spend on food and transportation when you leave campus on your own and for souvenirs.
- It is recommended that you bring lightweight washable clothing because New Jersey can be very humid in July.
- Bed linens and towels will be delivered at the beginning of the program and will be picked up at the end. You can wash them whenever you want in the new laundry facilities. Washer and dryer loads cost $1.15 each.
- We recommend that you bring two extra bath towels.
- You must have adequate health insurance coverage. If you don’t, you’ll have to pay for medical treatment at the time it’s given, and it’s very expensive.
- Minor medical problems can be handled by a local pharmacy or physician. Only true medical emergencies require a trip to a hospital. Please bring any medicines you regularly use.
- Smoking and alcohol consumption are not permitted in the residence hall or on College-sponsored trips.
- One weekly local shopping trip and other on-campus activities will be planned during the week. Otherwise, you are free to use weekday evenings to study and complete assignments or to go off campus on your own.
- You can use your laptop on campus once it has been checked by our IT Staff.
This is an academic program, and you will be expected to satisfy the course requirements in order to earn six college credits.
