Juniata College

Here are some suggestion for items to bring to the station:

Juniata approved computer
Critical for GIS classes and file access Clothes for a variety of weather conditions.
You will want at least one set of field work clothes (things to get muddy in).
You will want one set of ‘nicer’ clothes for times you work with the public (attending a conference, meeting with an outside speaker, presenting your work at a local community group).
Hiking boots and casual shoes
Binoculars
Bathing suits
Sheets for extra long mattresses (standard Juniata mattress)
Towels
You may use may use tacks or pins to hang posters on the walls.
Flashlights for night-time walks and getting around the station campus, which will not be brightly lit
Personal toiletries and medications (you will have time to go shopping occasionally but it is a long drive to a store using your own (or a lodge-mate’s) car and gas)
Sleeping bags for the occasional overnight field trip (especially for SOP semester)
A jump (or thumb) drive is recommended for you to backup and transfer your computer files
Kayaks and canoes and life jackets (optional). Laughing Bush canoes will be available for rent and the station can provide life jackets. If you bring your own watercraft, consider bringing a cable and lock to secure it.
Standard classroom supplies (notebook, pens, calculator, dictionary)

You may bring TVs, there is free cable. Please coordinate with house and roommates to minimize electrical and space usage.
Household items are not stocked, so you may wish to communicate with your lodge-mates about such items as hand soap in the bathrooms (we provide toilet paper), cleaning supplies (we provide a vacuum cleaner)
Cars and transport: try to maximize carpooling for shopping

Furniture - the lodges are already fully furnished
A fridge - there is already a full size fridge in each lodge, and we would like to conserve energy!
Air conditioners - they won't fit in the windows. Each bedroom has an overhead fan, so fans should be unnecessary as well.
