Bring as much money as possible...you need lots for alcohol, more for shirts and stuff, 15 for van. airport renovations, food money for the shitty nights you go to bad restaurants (me and my friends went to dinner 1 time, we always started drinking too early...) and you should be set. BRING A NOTE FROM YOUR PARENTS TO get over the border...they are dicks at customs at times. The guy almost didn't let us get over because we were supposedly runaways w/ skis. We had him call shane szocs' hotel room but he wasn't there. Then he called my dad to verify it, the guy said 'so you are making the canadian govt pay for a phone call to your father?' i answered with, 'I have a phone card.'. he eventually let us go over after holding us there for a good 20 min.
