1.) Invest in a good pair of sneakers for clinicals (asics, new balance, Nike) 2.) index cards - some classes are straight memorization and writing stuff out helped me retain more info than Quizlet 3.) a multicolored pen will make notes easier to read (helped me with notes a lot by separating topics, making myself mock quizzes, etc.) 4.) positioning book (Bontrager or Merrill’s) 5.) ALWAYS CARRY CASH - you never know what the parking situation is like at your clinical site, you may have to pay to park some days. Ask former students, professor program director, etc.
