This is maybe a silly question, but is there a preferred way to compile the materials you are bringing to your interviews (e.g., resume, writing sample, transcript)? Should they just be held together with a nice paperclip or would it be appropriate to place them in a folder? Feel free to tell me I'm over-thinking this...

Probably over thinking. I put my stuff in a padfolio. A nice folder would also do.

The COOP sells those nice padfolios with the Harvard logo on them. Most people used those or something comparably professional, so I wouldn't use a paperclip.

I have a nice padfolio I will use, I was more concerned about how my interviewer would keep my documents separated from all the others they will receive.

Yes, absolutely. Like I said, I'm probably (i.e., assuredly) over-thinking this. I was just imagining myself in an interviewer's shoes and being handed three to four different docs from each person I met. I would want a way to keep each set of documents together, but that's me (a guy who clearly over-thinks). :)

Do not, I repeat DO NOT use the bathrooms anywhere other than those downstairs near the lobby/holding room. Don't be that guy.

Everyone leaves their bags right outside the door of the hotel room where you are interviewing or downstairs at the tables in the student lounge with friends/sectionmates.

I was "that guy" plenty today and I think it's completely fine. Just politely ask if you can use their restroom. They always say "of course!"
