Going Back to College!
Summer is ending, and it's time for college students to head off to that dorm
room, frat house, sorority, or apartment. Here's a reminder of some things a
student may need -- or want! -- to take along. If the student is staying in a
dorm or other regulated housing, check the rules before you pack -- often,
certain appliances and other items (such as candles) are prohibited. Also,
find out whether some necessities (such as phones or bedding) are provided.
Must-haves:
* pens
* backpack
* notebooks
* dictionary
* phone
* sheets and blankets
* towels
* pillows
* toiletries
* laundry detergent
* laundry bag or basket
* alarm clock
* hangers
* shower caddy
Desirables:
* computer with extra accessories (i.e. extra printer cartridges)
* TV and VCR
* stereo
* answering machine
* lamps (maybe even a lava lamp?)
* posters and/or pictures
* power strips and extension cords
* fan
* microwave
* mini-fridge
* clothes drying rack
* iron
* dishes
* movies
* camera
* candles and/or incense
* rolls of quarters
* stamps and stationery
* dry-erase board for messages
* thumbtacks or poster putty
Looking for a good way to pack all this stuff? Get milk crates. After they're
unpacked, they double as storage bins or appliance stands.
