Going off to college shopping list?
Question:I would be a college freshman in the fall of 2007. I need to start getting things such as pillows, chairs,sheets, a laptop e.t.c. I wanted to know if there was a website or websites that has a list of all of the things that I need to move onto campus. thanks a lot.
Answers:
Your dorm director or R.A. should be able to give you a list. Don't get too much stuff, it's distracting.
.
Check out Linens 'n Things - they have a "Destination Dorm" area, which should give you a lot of the information you need, as well as the items you need to purchase.
Congratulations and Good Luck!
Ebay! Has the best stuff ever!

Don't know, but one of the best things that I got for graduation (but thought was really stupid at the time) was a sewing kit. You'll be suprised how often you'll need it just to sew a button back on. Still use it to this day - 20+ years later.
Also pack a small toolbox with the basics: screwdriver (philips and standard), hammer, nails for hanginging pictures, tape measure, etc.
No one else thinks of those things - Great for meeting people!
Good luck at college!
I used a list I found on AllDormShopping.com and it was great! - Everything I needed plus it has a lot of other resources. Good luck! It'll be a lot of fun!
