What to Bring To College: T to W

Tape measurer
Tape dispenser and clear tape refills
Tapestries: hang them up on the wall, above your bed, etc http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/sear...pestries&go=1&
Teabags
Three-hole punch adapter
Toaster oven
Toothbrush
Toothbrush case: Bed Bath and Beyond has a great little plastic toothbrush container with a latch, so the bristles of your toothbrush don’t get all gross jumbled next to everything else in your shower tote or caddy
Toothpaste
Towels (at least two sets each of bath towel, hand towel, face towel etc)
Trash Can
Tree Floor Lamp: these are good because you can use one lighting source to illuminate different parts of your room-- in a tiny room, one light can be aimed at your desk, the other at your bed while you read, the other at the ceiling. They range from inexpensive and colorful http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/prod...2&BTSMode=true to more polished

TV
Tweezers

Umbrella- a good, sturdy one

Vacuum: any slim, lightweight one will do. It doesn’t need to be an expensive, bulky vacuum to get the job done.
Vacuum: hand-sized, to clean up dust in corners, on desks etc
Example: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/prod...1&SKU=13645957
Vaseline: or petroleum jelly. It’s oily and sticky, but if you don’t have lotion or lip balm handy, a spot of Vaseline will do it.
Video game console
Video games
Multi-vitamin
Vick’s Vapo Rub: I always put this on my chest and throat when I’m sick
Vitamin C: to keep up your immune system during cold season
Vitamin E: this comes in two forms-- one is in a gel-like pill, the other is in a small glass jar. The ingestion of vitamin E is supposed to soften your skin, strengthen your hair. The vitamin E in a jar-- vitamin E oil-- is often put on scars or stretch marks to advance healing and lighten the scar
Vitamin D/Oscal: to keep your bones strong

Washcloths or washrags: use old ones for rinsing or drying dishes, and cleaning floors
Water bottles
Water filter pitcher http://www.brita.com/index.shtml and replaceable filters
Water pitcher: a regular one, if you don’t want filtered
Waterless hand sanitizer http://www.purell.com/original.aspx
Whiteboard with dry-erase markers (lots of people hang these outside their rooms so friends can leave messages)
White-out or correctional fluid (I prefer the rolling, tape-dispenser-like white-out)
Windex or other window cleaner; the wipes are especially handy

Writing Basics: a writing style book, a dictionary, a thesaurus

Thanks you guys! Hope it helps.
