My D did not bring anything warm initially. However, when the wet and crisp mornings began she realized that she needed more than a sweatshirt. So, a care package of warm & rain boots, northface rain and fleece plus hat, scarf and gloves were requested. She especially needed these items when she went to the mountains with her seminar group. She said all were very jealous as she was so prepared for the cold while everyone else had only a sweatshirt and a pair of jeans. The biggest issue for all the kids is the closet constraints, so I would highly recommend a lot of thought be put into closet organization. One thing we did utilize to help with this was space bags. Vacumn suction can be obrained from dorm maintenance personnal. The other items we used were 9 slot shoe boxes which we placed on the top shelf of closet, also had a 12 hook purse snapstrap that hooked on the wall and a ring hanger for all her belts. And don't forget the felt covered hangers, they are slimmer and the clothes stay on them. Hope these suggestions help.
