- Sidewalk chalk - they often run out in the activity

- Ghost Stories
- Laundry basket/hamper/bag
- Power strip/extension cord -- power outlets may be hard to find.

- iPhone or iPod Touch -- JHU runs a guest wi-fi network
- A non-trivial amount of spending money -- your RA group can visit many restaurants (including Chipotle, which is incredibly expensive), the local Barnes and Noble bookstore, a local movie theater, and the Inner Harbor stores over the weekends. You can also get Chinese take-out, which costs money. The Book Thing, however, takes no money (The Book Thing is a warehouse-sized store where you can get books of all genres for free. It's a bit of a walk, though.)
- Musical instruments and/or piano sheet music -- you will be able to practice during some activity periods in JHU's music rooms

- Bug spray<especially if in Easton dorms>
- I SECOND THAT: there are gnats on the quad and OMG BRING BUG SPRAY
