What to bring?

You won't need the flight case until CPT and sim. Most folks get to go home for a bit before you start those things. A backpack will be fine until then. Make sure before you buy a flightcase that you get one that will fit in the CRJ bag space. Don't bring your headset, you won't need it until IOE.

You can get food at the supermarket near the hotel, so don't bother packing that. You can also get most anything else you might discover you need. Don't bring too many clothes, you can do laundry at the hotel.

I'd bring note cards, highlighters, a pad or two of paper, some pens and pencils. Don't forget something fun, like an ipod or cd player, and of course your cell phone.

Bring a good attitude and get along well with others. Study hard and you'll be set.

I think the single shoulder back back and a fanny pack with suffice, sporto.

You forgot the toothpicks for your eyelids.
Some chocolate: it counteracts depression.
Some Beano to squelch the cheese....wait, you're in Wisconsin and their pledge of allegiance is to wave your right hand in a rainbow arcing motion, while balancing on one leg and turning loose a free-range oily wafer.
