What he said ^^ . DS is a plebe this year. Our experience shows that the less you take to Plebe Summer the happier you'll be. After plebe summer, depending on what company you're in, you might not be allowed anything other than what you are issued. Personal belongings can also be impacted by who wins the various sports, particularly football. Take a cell phone. You'll get to use it a couple of times during plebe summer, and then turn it back in after reassuring your loved ones that you're still alive and breathing. After plebe summer you'll have some cell-phone privileges, again depending upon variables. It's best to "play it by ear" and have your parents mail you things as you find what you can have. All companies compete in every area. If the company grades go down, for example, they may decide to not allow any electronics except for homework. Good Luck!
