We have alist of recommended laptop specificationsfor various disciplines. In addition to your laptop, plan to pack a few basic amenities,
your phone, and some clothes for your first few days here. Learn from current Michigan
Tech students in From a Husky on what to pack.
If you are receiving an Educational Loan that is paid directly to Michigan Tech, you
will need to make sure that you still have personal funds available to you to pay for initial necessities before your loan can be disbursed.  The University
does not refund overages of Educational Loans until your semester bill is covered.
This means you will need to make sure that you have adequate personal/family funds that can cover food, housing deposit, and the first month's rent (especially if you
are living off campus), in addition to household goods for your new living space.
