Some of these things they will mention you should bring, most they won't. These are all things I or the students wished we had remembered to pack! For anyone going next year, I hope this helps!
String
Scissors
Command hooks
Metal hook (for hanging mosquito net)
Business outfit
Church appropriate conservative outfit (long skirt, nice shirt or nice dress)
Q-tips
A hat or bandana
School supplies (somehow I forgot paper)
Extra notebook for J-term class
Extra razors
Lots of clothes (bras and shorts especially)
Blank paper
Colored pencils
Water bottle (with filter if possible, the water tastes odd)
Base makeup; bring brand new ones
First aid supplies
Anti itch cream
Tape
Fun tack (the sticky putty)
Hair clips and scrunchies
Long pajamas (I was fine in shorts and a t shirt)
Nice club dress (not slutty)
Nice flats or low heels
Curling iron
Hairspray
Non scented lotion (The bugs will EAT you alive with scented)
Lots of feminine/sexual/etc supplies (better safe than sorry)
Clothes pins (the dryer often isn't free)
Baby wipes or baby powder (you are always sweaty the first few days)
Sunscreen
Shampoo, conditioner, etc. Don't count on a travel bottle lasting you, it can be a few days before you go shopping
TOILET PAPER! There is none in the bathrooms, you have to buy your own. Bring a roll to get you started.
Mosquito repellent (just because you don't get by Mosquitos doesn't mean you're safe. These Mosquitos don't play by the rules; your legs are always an open buffet)
Sealed microwave meal that does not need to be frozen. The day I got here all the stores were closed and there was no food. A lot of people couldn't eat because of that. Same with breakfast. It was nice to have something to pop in the microwave and eat.
Underwater camera (I have a Pentax that works in and out of water. One of the girls had their camera ruined at the beach. Even a film disposable underwater camera; you can't buy them here and can't develop the film, though)
