Will defer to those that are more recent -but NAPS was not near a restrictive as Plebe Year. They issue the basics, but you can have comfort items as long as they fit in your locker. Need to bring civvies for liberty in Newport.

Like @Old Navy BGO says, NAPS is less restrictive. Dorm rooms in Ripley hall have private bathrooms too, although I believe they are connected to the room between … 2 roomies per room max … although our daughter had a room by herself one quarter.
December through April is down right cold in Newport …. Weighted blanket for extra comfort helps … and ample cold gear outside on liberty and exercising.

You can box blankets and cold gear up and send it later … November timeframe.
And basic care packages every week …

Newport is a beautiful place … get over to Cliff Walk, and also tour the Gilded Age Mansions …. The Rockefeller’s called them Cottages … They had remote Coal Fired power plants to heat the behemoths … and rails to bring the coal in
Fascinating …

Basic linens and covers are provided … extra cold weather blankets is what they need later on.
Pack some towels, maybe 3, and wash cloths. But I think those items are provided.
Call the Main office at NAPS … they can tell you what to do about the towels.
I would send socks with your daughter … she probably has her favorite for sports and being out and about …

What about socks, towels, bedding?
Thank you! You’ve been very helpful. We are on Long Island and it’s hard to believe we have never been to Newport. Looking forward to getting to know it.
