What to Pack

When it's time to pack for college, how do you know what to bring? And how much room will you have to store it all?

Most college students will tell you - they enjoy having the creature comforts of home. You don't have to splurge on expensive room furnishings, but you'll need more of the simple things, like rain gear or over-the-counter medicines they can have right on hand when they need them.

Most of the items they'll need can be picked up at at any discount store. And when it's time to re-stock things, gift cards to Walmart or Target is a great idea.

There are numerous books on the subject, but we've made it easy for you by compiling a list of preferred items that most students need while living on campus.
