Stupid question.
I was just wondering whether or not to bring a purse to welcome week? I just don't want to lug it around during all the events. Do people usually bring their purses or just put thier essentials in thier pockets?

For activities not recommended, other than pubs, concerts, etc. I guess its fine.

From what I saw no one really carried anything last year but their keys and a water bottle. Unless it was to one of the faculty night events.

For some events (like MaConnector) you are told to not bring anything, and are told to leave your stuff by the sidelines.

All you really need are your keys!

you really don't want to have to worry about anything other than the bare essentials so you can focus on all the fun stuff.

key + lots of water is all you are going to need!

And remember, you will most likely be given lanyards so you can carry your keys around your neck.
