I’m going to uni this autumn, and I feel like most of studyblr’s incoming freshmen are just as clueless as I am. Here’s a bunch of tips from the more experienced among us, and I hope it’s just as useful to you as it is to me!

this took forever to make so i’m really hoping it’s good

Staying in contact with high school friends

Extensive Packing List

Warning: This will seem like a lot, but it doesn’t once you get there, and you can use your own judgment as to whether or not you will need something. Also, this particular list is geared towards my specific univeristy

Bedroom

Bedding

Duvet cover and insert or comforter

Matching sham

Sheets and pillow cases (I recommend two sets of cotton minimum, one set of flannel in addition is optional)

Egg crate topper (super cheap but super comfy after the first few nights—you may want to get a second one towards the end of the school year)

Mattress pad—holds the topper in place

Mattress protector (as recommended by an Anon). Some universities have bed bug problems, and you never really know what happened on your bed before it was yours, and this will help ensure a little more help on the cleanliness front.

Pillows

Stuffed animals

Desk Area

Stapler

printer, ink, and paper

Three hole punch

Binders and notebooks

For some classes you’ll want to keep every piece of paper ever (things related to your major and math classes), so these will need to be in binders.

Math and science classes lend themselves to hand-written notes, so you’ll want to use a binder with loose leaf paper or the notebook of your choosing for those. *note* My personal favorites are Mead Five Start Flex Hybrid Notebinders

Pens, pencils, Sharpies (you will use black and silver frequently for labeling random things)

Tape dispenser (can be a cheap $2 plastic one, or a heavy duty, belongs in the office of a CEO one)

glue sticks (yes, you will use them)

Headphones

Phone and laptop

Phone and laptop chargers

HDMI cord (literally the most used item in my dorm room)

Power strip

Desk lamp

Post Its, paperclips, extra staples, push pines

Closet and Laundry

Leave your high school shirts at home unless you want to use them as sleep shirts. You’ll get plenty of shirts from your college or university.

Hangers. Mine are mismatched and plastic and came straight from my closet at my mother’s.

Hamper. You can choose your preference here. I prefer sturdy plastic with handles, but my roommate loved her fabirc one. Walmart has one that rolls, which is cool. Maybe you just want a laundry bag.

Detergent.

Fabric softener and Downy balls

Dryer sheets

Other

Fridge

coffee mugs (can use for tea, coffee, soup, ice water, milk for cookies, Spaghetti-Os, literally anything you can think of)

microwave if you don’t have one in the common area/common area is far away

Small table lamp or floor lamp (put this somewhere across the room from the desk lamp because overhead lighting is the worst)

Books and movies

TV (optional, I use mine as a second monitor pretty frequently)

Video game console, accessories, and games (if desired)

Purse/wallet

Trash bags

ALL THE CLEANING SUPPLIES

Canvases, posters, pictures, corkboards, etc

Command strips (the Velcro kind of the absolute best) and sticky tack (Loc-Tite brand, it’s blue)

Keurig or coffee pot (if you’re into that) and all the fixin’s

Bathroom – some of these are included because I have a bathroom within my dorm room

Trash can

Shower curtain, liner, and rings

Bathmat

Toilet brush and cleaner

Plunger. Plumbing on campuses can be iffy

Lady supplies (if you need those sort of things)

Toiletries and makeup

Some sort of caddy if you’re living in traditional or you’re sharing your bathroom with multiple people and don’t want to clutter the counter

Toothbrush holder

Soap dispenser

I thought I packed everything I would need and more, but here’s a list of items I forgot, or nearly forgot, and also some things worth mentioning!

Sponges: Bring at least one! You can’t keep rinsing your tupperware with water. It gets greasy!

Plates: I brought a mug, tupperware, and utensils but no plates. Granted, I could use my tupperware to eat things, but a plate would’ve come in handy. I mean, I had to smoosh my pizza into my tupperware container just to microwave it.

Face Towels: I figured I would just bring my regular shower towel to wash my face in the morning. But it’s actually a lot easier to have those small face towels. All you bring in the bathroom in the morning, at least for me, is a toothbrush, toothpaste, and face towel (and cleanser).

Tablet: I did not think I would need my tablet, since I use my phone and laptop regularly and at home, I used my tablet for fun. But for my classes that have heavy reading, it would be really convenient to bring a tablet and not a laptop to class!
