What can you suggest to bring during the studio time in Boston? Did you have a laptop, or where computers available on campus? Any model building tools, drafting supplies, or what not that you wished you would’ve brought but hadn’t?
a. BRING a Laptop – there is a computer room that is great and printing/scanning is right there, but the more time you can spend in the studio with your cohorts the better.
b. A small printer and scanner can come in real handy (saves you trips up and down the stairs) and you will instantly be “popular”
c. Model supplies… this is up for debate… if you have stuff bring stuff, they are just hard to travel with. Some of the guys from my class have brought a small suit case just for model/drafting/architectural supplies…a very good idea! Or you can always get supplies for about anything you need/want at a few art supply stores in the area:
i. Utrecht is near the motel and offers a 10% discount for BAC students and
ii. Johnson Paint Co. is near the school and near coffee!.
iii. Not wanting to speak for you or your classmates, but just as in undergrad… things get shared… it helps with the bonding.
d. WEB CAM… this may seem a bit odd for school but it will help. If you are married, have kids or just miss your dog, it is nice to be able to see back home. I brought one my first semester and it was a hit with the other guys and the next semester… more of us had them. If you are real handy… you can record the Saturday crit and then upload the video to your blog.

I am sure you will building models... so bring model supplies.... not the chip board, museum board (you can get these at a near by store) but the cork board rulers, xacto knives, cutting board, glue gun etc...
Markers, colored pencils, etc...Computer…
