Don't forget these items when you move to BC

1. Your computer (be sure to view the minimum requirements for campus computers)
   - Read important tips to get started with your computer at BC.
2. Lock for your laptop (protect your investment!)
3. A power strip with surge protection
4. Coaxial cable for your TV
5. Backup your important files. To make sure you don't lose important files if your computer stops working, you should back up your computer on a regular basis. The easiest way to do this is to use an online service (search for: “online backup services”) that will do it automatically for you. Learn about other backup options at BC.
6. Prepare to print. Printers are available for purchase through the BC Bookstore or your favorite retailer. You can also print to laser printers in the Campus Technology Resource Center (CTRC) from anywhere on campus. You are credited 500 free pages to print per semester. Learn more about printing at BC.
7. If you want a land line: Corded touch-tone phone (cordless phone users report interference on campus)
8. Ethernet cable

See the Get Connected 2011 guide (PDF), which explains how to connect to the Internet at BC, how to set up your BC phone, and also has a listing of the cable TV channels on campus.
