Now is a good time to evaluate what you really need to take to college. If you have visited your college, you’ll be that far ahead of the game. Check with your college on dorm restrictions. Many will not allow microwaves and fridges. However, some do. If so, the costs for these high-ticket items requires discussion with your roommate-add it to your next roommate-phone-call list.
You will need clothes, study items, your computer, a phone, bedding, storage items, toiletries, personal items, entertainment, work-out gear, some basic utensils to sustain yourself, and some personal extras [depending upon space available in your dorm].
Then, weed thru your stuff. No I mean ‘really’ weed thru your stuff. Do you really need to hang-on to your first-grade macaroni art piece? Or can you take digital images of your masterpieces and get rid of the originals? Talk to your parents and determine what you will take, what you will leave behind, and how you will get all your stuff to college.
