Good question. The following information can be found in an e-mail that was just launched (earlier this afternoon) to everyone attending this week's Pre-Knob:
"Please bring a SLEEPING BAG, PILLOW, and TOILETRY ITEMS. You should expect to be walking a great deal, and this includes traveling up and down quite a few stairs. Comfortable shoes are recommended. Please dress neatly and comfortably. Khakis or nice jeans and a polo shirt (or the equivalent) are typical. JROTC uniforms or excessive jewelry are not recommended."
Since ROTC scholarships don't cover room and board, it would definitely be a good idea to check the status of your account on Lesesne Gateway.
Gaming consoles are a senior privilege.
Weekends are not technically "off" for cadets of any class. However, conduct proficient cadets do have leave privileges on the weekend. General leave ends for knobs at 2400 on Friday and Saturday nights. More information can be found in chapter eight of the White Book here:

All company assignments are at the discretion of the Office of the Commandant. However, alumni may submit requests for their sons/daughters or grandsons/granddaughters to be placed in the company to which the alumnus was assigned when he or she was a cadet. Other requests are generally not considered.
It depends...mainly on (1) course load [hopefully, 12 hours or more] and (2) course selection [hopefully, academic coursework]. Transfer applicants must still provide an official copy of their final high school transcript, so performance in high school may still matter; however, it generally matters less and less as more college coursework is attempted/completed. Transfer admission is addressed on page 20 of The Citadel Catalog:
