Leaving home for the first time can be a nerve-wracking experience.\u00a0Making the decision to attend boarding school means\u00a0beginning a year filled with new opportunities, weather, and experiences! These are all amazing\u00a0things, but they can make it difficult for\u00a0boarders to decide what is and isn’t important for them to pack\u2014especially if this is the first time they’re moving away from home!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Leysin American School’s mountainside campus\u00a0is located at 1,350 meters (4,400 feet), with lots of pistes and\u00a0walking trails\u00a0extending to\u00a0even greater altitudes. Students also\u00a0participate in activities like ice climbing, surfing, and cycling. With so many different opportunities available, here are the essentials we tell our students to bring with them to ensure a successful year here in Switzerland:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

CLOTHING<\/h4>\n
For any boarding school student, it’s\u00a0a good idea to do some research before packing. Will you be wearing a school-branded uniform? Are the temperatures fairly consistent throughout the year, or do they vary?\u00a0These questions will help guide you as you decide\u00a0what and how much to bring. At LAS students do wear a uniform, and we experience a variety of temperatures throughout the year. This means that students only need casual clothing for evenings and weekends, and they should bring layers for all types of weather. We recommend LAS students pack:<\/div>\n
    \n
  • \n
    Winter coat and\/or jacket<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Raincoat and\/or windbreaker<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Sweaters<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

    Formal outfits for banquets and special occasions<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    ALPINE AND SPORTS EQUIPMENT<\/h4>\n
    Similarly to everyday clothing, students should investigate what sports equipment is available to them: are\u00a0there branded gym uniforms? Ski gear? Answering these questions will make for much more efficient packing! At LAS, gym uniforms and ski jackets are provided. We recommend our students bring:<\/div>\n
      \n
    • \n
      Ski trousers<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

    • \n
      Athletic indoor shoes<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Swimsuit<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      HYGIENE<\/h4>\n
      You’ll likely be able to stock up on hygiene products wherever you go, but if there is a particular brand you like from home, be sure to bring extra! The stores near your school may not carry the brands you are used to. Items you should remember to pack include:<\/div>\n
        \n

        Nail clippers<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n
        Towels and washcloths<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        DORM ROOM DECORATIONS<\/h4>\n
        With a few simple items, you can make your dorm room feel like a home away from home. While linens may be provided, like they are at LAS, you can consider decorations\u00a0from home to add your own personal style to your space! Some options include:<\/div>\n
          \n
        • \n
          Photos<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
