What are some must haves for university?

I will be a first year student in the fall, meal plan and broad are already set and I have the basics, towels, shampoo, stuff like that. But beyond that I have no idea why I should bring. Any suggestions?

Answer #1

Sheets, blankets, pillows, bring pictures from home to make it feel more warin your room, a desk to study at helps, cd player for music, if you can get a mini fridge they are a life saver, alarm clock so you dont miss class, i likked having a dry erase board to write reminders on, lamp in case the lighting is too much or not enough, shower shoes if your sharing a bathroom in a dorm to prevent getting athletes foot.

Answer #2

i can tell you stuff I brought and NEVER used:

eating utensils and a microwave (just used the freshman 3 meal a day dining card)
A TV- there was NO time to watch it, and if necessary, the central area of the school has tons. I brought a TV, the outlet was on my roommate’s side of the room, and she just complained about it crowding her dresser.
Don’t bother with a cofeemaker. There are coffee stands everywhere. Much easier.

Do bring: Extra sets of sheets and comforter, so you don’t have to wash yours as often.

A book light, to study if the roomie wants to sleep.

And a suggestion to make friends? Hang out with people who smoke, even if you don’t. They congregate in the designated smoking areas and have nothing to do but talk. GREAT secret I found to making friends.

Good luck!
