Student Recommended Items:

These items have been recommended by former students. Many of the items listed are very expensive on the Island; therefore, if you are traveling to Grenada and you have the space, it is recommended that you bring these items with you.

  • Hangers and a laundry bag (Many students use a duffel bag as both luggage and a laundry bag.). Each dorm complex has its own laundry facilities.  
  • Flashlight - Small "Mini-Mag" type flashlights are popular. Small, battery-run book lights are also a smart item to bring for the occasional power outages.  
  • Batteries - Consider bringing rechargeable batteries and a charger for both your flashlight or other electronic equipment, as they can save you money.
