I'm so old that I once authored a blog post advising people to not bring their entire CD and DVD collections, to leave the encyclopedia and other heavy research books at home and use the library's instead, and to always have a big stash of quarters for laundry and xeroxing. I then included pictures of my Spice Girls and Josie and the Pussycats posters decorating my dorm room.

Hi friends,
As a former college RA I highly suggest reading over the banned items list for your school. At my school string lights were banned and a major problem from the fire department. This means that any time string lights were reported by the staff it would be confiscated and the school would get a strict letter (and possibly a fine) from the fire marshal and fire department. As another note, make use of your RA! The RAs are there for more than roommate issues. For example, freshman year I asked my RA if I could borrow a can opener.

As a college instructor, please still get, obtain, and read the textbook if we tell you that you need it! We don’t care if you get it for free, but if we say you need to read it and it will help you, please believe us! (i know she wasn’t saying exactly this; i’m just sharing important info)

the "I'll wear this when I have my life together" is so meee 😭

Weird things that you also might wanna look into:
- Command hooks (maybe not aesthetically pleasing but hanging towels, coats, etc. is great)
- Some sort of odor remover bag thing. In my first dorm experience, random roommate worked really well EXCEPT for the musty odor issues we had. If I knew that odor trapping bags and things like that existed, it would have been a life saver. ALSO- OPEN YOUR WINDOWS ONCE IN A WHILE. Honestly fantastic for my sensitive, autistic nose haha.
- If no one ever told you *shower shoes*, here is me telling you
Accessibility & Scheduling tips:
-If you are a light sleeper and are not used to a roommate or a loud dorm, earplugs (and healthy earplug habits) will really help save your life.
-If your bed is lofted and the ladder up hurts your feet, look into a small stool or other thing that might keep you from injuring yourself all the way up. My first roommate had a small square stool that both had storage space and sat right by the end of her bed for easy climbing.
-People will likely play their own music in the showers. If this bothers you or gets too loud, you may be able to either talk to the RA about his/her ideas to solve the problem for you, or you can start taking showers when people usually aren't. It depends on your dormmates, but different shower times yield different results
-Talk to your RA if you have any problems
-PLAN AHEAD. If you can, talk to your roommate BEFORE the school year starts about what side of the room they want, sleep schedules, pet peeves, etc. My autism manifests in a lot of unique ways that roommates should know about. If you are not comfortable sharing specifics/disorders (abelism be like), make sure that at least the biggest preferences (noise issues, etc.) are noted. Explain them away through "sensory issues" or "misophonia" instead of autism/adhd to help aid understanding and decrease chances of ableism
-Laundry takes about 2hr-2:30hr. Make sure you have times where 1) your schedule allows a time block where you can be both studying and doing laundry and 2) have time blocks that are less popular than others. It really depends on your Uni and the party schedule your school has, but there are many times when laundry rooms are dead empty.
-If you are late to class, do my 30/30/30 rule. 30 minutes to wake up and get ready, 30 minutes to get food, and 30 minutes to travel. When you start understanding how long it takes you to get to places, adjust your schedule
-About the above, TRY NOT TO BE LATE TO CLASS. Too much happens at the beginning of classes to be missed. This can include notes about the rest of the week, updates on assignments, etc.
-If you are in a region where climate shifts drastically, plan to change out your closet in the middle of the semester if possible.
-Know train schedules/bus schedules/anything you use to either get to class, your dorm, or back home
There's probably more but I can't think of any!
P.S. Since most rising sophomores AND rising freshmen don't know anything about dorms or how they work, be patient with the underclassmen that live in your dorm. Half or more of dormmates don't have a clue to what they're doing, so give advice when possible. Something I will definitely have to work on next year haha.

As a soon-to-be junior (who had most of a year of in-person classes): bring 2-3 sets of more professional clothing! Professors love it when you show up to class well-dressed, and even just dressing nicely 1-2 times a week can lead to some pretty great references or letters of recommendation down the road (because, if nothing else, you were noted for being the “put together” one in your class). A couple of sets of cute “going out clothes” also opens up possibilities! Typical themes for parties are similar to dress up weeks in high school - tie dye, flannel, white/black out, Hawaiian, and “outer space” themes are all pretty common.

it’s always so interesting to me that electric kettles aren’t a common house hold item in america!!

"You aren't going to change into an entirely different person...." This is something I wish someone would have told me when I first graduated high school(forever ago) and was on my way to college. Eventually I did change into an entirely different person but it didn't happen in my first semester of college.

It's so interesting to see what dormlife is like in the US. I'm studying multilingual communication in Cologne, Germany and I live in a student dorm too. But here, the dorms are spread all over the city, you dont live on campus. And the campus of the university normally is spread all over the city as well. The language campus is located in another part of the city than the science campus for example.
And student dorms are usually run by the student union and not by the uni itself.

Don't bring all the hobbies that you don't have time for, but do bring the ones that you do all the time and make you happy! You're going to be at college for the majority of the year, so if you make space for what you really want, it will be worth it! I didn't bring my sewing machine during my first semester and rarely visited home, so eventually I got so desperate to work on a sewing project that I made a skirt by hand over the course of two days. My wrists have still not recovered from 18 hours of hand sewing in that short of a time period. Granted that was also at the end of a ten day isolated quarantine and it is unlikely that such a thing would happen to anyone else, but moral of the story, if you have hobbies that are important to you and your happiness, bring the materials you need to do them lol

Great video and for liquid detergent, I've been doing this for years, you could keep the large bottle in your room and have a small bottle to take to the laundryroom and just refill when necessary; I have a small one-pint travel size Tide bottle I found at Target that I keep refilling.
As for Tide Pods and other similar products, I don't use because they will eventually clog the drains over time because they don't fully dissolve and in some places they're prohibited. I have also seen some people put the pods, either liquid or dry, in the detergent tray instead of directly on the clothes in the wash and it causes a mess because again, they don't fully dissolve.

I agree on the laptop vs. desktop computer, but I would recommend bringing a second monitor (cheap or used will do) for your desk. It was my life saving tool during online courses and helps so much to juggle pdfs and writing. =)

"dont bring a desktop setup"
if youre a Software Engineer/CS Major I would highly contest this. Desktops are essential if you dont want to overheat your poor laptop and dont want to raise your eyeglass power and squint for the rest of your life

what to bring: hardwork, discipline and determination
what to leave behind: self doubt, procrastination and distractions

Nice video.
Tide pods are unnecessarily expensive imo. You could always just bring the lid with the amount you need so you don't have to lug the whole thing... At the end of the year, when there's lots of "free stuff" lying around, laundry detergent (half used, even full bottles), cleaning tools and mattress toppers were common.
In seriousness I would decant from the costco-sized items and refill when I went home for breaks. Meal plans were too large for me (cafeteria was unhealthy for me, and I had classes through lunchtime), that I still graduated with money left over on my account while on the smallest meal plan.
Sometimes reslife will have cleaning supplies that you can borrow, if they don't.. ask if they can provide this service. They also sometimes have pots/pans, which is helpful for late night ramen.
If you're not getting kicked out of home/needing to bring all of your life belongings with you, this is an opportunity to Marie Kondo with a safety net (which kind of defeats the purpose, but if you have anxiety over it then it could help). It's an opportunity to "live like a minimalist" or "live in one suitcase" besides you are there to study, do you really have time to deal with so many material items?
I don't think it is necessary to put too much effort into buying all the latest and coolest decors and whatnot (sure have some decor if it brings you joy) but it is an opportunity to live for a bit while "starting from scratch" free from attachments to things you own with a safety net and .. learn about what actually sparks joy to you.
Having fewer things makes moving in/out of dorms a lot easier. Make use of planned trips back home (if possible). If you don't need your winter clothes until after thanksgiving, then when you go home, swap out summer clothes with winter clothes. And bring home things that you don't need it when you realize it because.. trying to move out at the same time as everyone with so much stuff is difficult (you also risk picking up the "free stuff") and do you really want to pay a few $$$ to store your things for the summer?
Story time: I once did laundry late at night, and fell asleep on it and missed class. I also fell asleep on the floor because those mattresses were too comfortable and I wouldn't be able to get up on time.
Most important thing to remember when packing is: you are in school to study, your main focus is to learn and network to prepare yourself for "the real world." Surround yourself with things that support you on your journey.

I'd second guess the dishes. Even if one can get compostable ones, reusable ones will save you more money in the long run and bulding up the discipline to wash them directly after use can be very valuable.
