Atlanta isn't as cold as
the northern states.
But you do need winter clothing.
Usually clothes are machine-washed once every week, hence a week's supply of
clothes is needed. (If you're one of the lazy types, get clothes to last you
two weeks).
Since clothes are machine-dried, they inevitably shrink. (or you grow fat.)
Eitherway, get all clothes a little loose.
14-15 sets of undergarments,
6-8 pairs socks,
handkerchiefs.
Good swimming trunk,
a few shorts,
T-shirts may be brought.
At least one tie,
1-2 belts.
One suit: it's absolutely necessary for the Career Fair or any other formal
occasion.
Two ordinary towels (Turkish ones start stinking).
One bed sheet,
night wear.
Woollen socks not recommended.
Don't bring along Indian files (empty) or punching machines; the filing system
is different in the US.
Wear your shoes to save space in the box.
If needed buy only leather shoes (other types of shoes are cheap in US).
