In addition to going to college myself, I’ve sent three kids off to school. Along the way I’ve learned a few things about what to take and what not to take to college. Perhaps the best advice anyone can give a young person preparing to head to school for the first time is to ask.
When in doubt, check with someone who will know. Depending on the question, there are a number of resources available including the campus housing office or your apartment complex manager, roommates (you should be able to get their contact information in advance if you don’t have it), friends or family members who have been to college, and even your high school guidance counselor. Better to ask than to guess, be wrong and waste precious money and space on stuff you don’t need or won’t use. |
