Bring two large Jepp Binders, and a small one or third large chart binder. You'll soon be bringing your filled chart case to class every day. The first week ro two you can survive with a backpack.

A car! While the van is good enough to get you to/from school.... it still eats up loads of time. Trips to Wal Mart on the van take forever, and are restricted to before 9pm etc.
