What stuff should I take to boarding school??

Check the climate. You don’t want to weigh down your luggage or take up storage space for sweaters if the coolest the temp gets is only 75 degrees.
I would also take a few items to remind me of home – pictures of family help to minimize homesickness.
Since you plan to spend a lot of time doing extracurricular, you won’t need things to occupy your time. However, if you have an IPOD you may find it comes in handy. Many professors are providing notes via ITUNES that can be downloaded later.
A laptop computer would also be a must. This will be handy both in the classroom and for homework later.
Contact the residence hall advisor for a complete list of items that might be needed. I am sure that they have compiled such a list for these type inquiries.
Have fun!
Mattress pad-dorm beds may not be comfy, and this makes you feel like you're sleeping on a cloud 🙂
Beanbag-you may want to talk yo your roommate beforehand about this, but it'll certainly make your room more homey!
SNACKS-I can't stress this enough. It's very important to have snacks when going to an all-girls boarding school.
Lamp-a small desk lamp, or a reading light for your bed may be necessary because there may not be the best lighting in your dorm.
Fan/space heater- dorms are notorious for uncomfortable temperatures, be sure to stay cool (or warm)!
