"What to bring" & "What NOT to bring"

To enjoy the full complement of summer services and to make your stay on campus comfortable below is a list of must-haves and recommendations.

A few notes regarding packing and purchasing items for the summer program:

Be mindful of what you bring and/or purchase while in Oswego because when you leave the summer program, you must remove all of your items from your room. Note: There are no available storage units on campus.
