Haha, don't overpack! You won't need that many things to be honest, just the basic stuff.

Sounds good. might just get a small duffel bag or backpack. By the way, pillows are provided, correct?

Anyone know if we'll get access to WiFi?
There's free wifi campuswide. The only catch is you'll need to activate your MAC ID services in order to use it.

If you're on a laptop, I think you need to download Clean Access Agent and have some sort of antivirus. I don't have a laptop so I can't say for sure though.

If you're just browsing from your phone, I think you can just login with you MAC ID and password.

...You really shouldn't be bringing your laptop though. You won't have time for it during the sessions, and even if you do have time before bed, I'd recommend sleeping instead. The days are so packed you'll be lucky to snag six hours of sleep.

edit: oops, I was replying from a page I hadn't refreshed in a while and didn't see that crucif3x already said everything I just did. =\

Yes, you also need some sort of AV if you are using windows. McMaster offers free AV to its students through Sophos.

Story of my life. I'm an overpacker! In March, I went to a conference (it was the same length as Horizons) and I brought a full suit case and a bag. Haha! I'll try to pack lightly though-- for once.

You'll find the itinerary in your Delegate Manual on Day One. Until then, you'll have to stew in your excitement & and anticipation. hehe >

Fyi, you don't need your own white sheet. Most of last year's delegates just used the bedsheets from their residence's beds. If you want to make it spiffy or pretty though, you can bring your own coloured ones.

Safety pins are also a godsend when constructing your toga, unless you're really pro at it. =p

I'm gonna assume that means: BRING SAFETY PINS. hehe

I guess I could use the ones they provide I'm just worried. I'll spill something or get it dirty... Then I'll have to sleep with it.. ewie. hehe.
