Besides loads of underwear, toothbrush, razor, etc. What else should pre-strain bring next week?
Cell phone, laptop, etc.?

Yes to all of the above. Actually for STP- in addition to cell phone & laptop and stuff above you should plan on bringing decent shorts/slacks to go to class and collared shirts (You can't go to class in your basketball shorts and T shirt!) ; PT and swim gear, sheets/pillow cases; Stuff to do your laundry (you will be there for a month and will need to take care of your own laundry) and a FAN (the rooms are hot in July in Virginia). Don't go overboard taking stuff down there as you will need to haul it all back out. My son suggested that a footlocker with a lock would be a good thing if you are concerned about valuables while you are out of your room - he was not worried about that himself though. Oh yes- almost forgot- a power strip and an ethernet cable would be useful. Finally - some basic cleaning stuff for your room would be a good idea (you are expected to keep the room neat and living with 4 or even 5 others in a room- cleaning gets important!)
Whatever else you might do, bleach the freaking sink. Those Clorox wipe things are amazing.
Good luck,
