| Hey guys, this list was very helpful in preparing me for college this year. Now that I'm settled and all, I would have to say that many of these things are nice to have, but it is really an inconvenience to carry them throughout. I would stick to the basics (wallet, cell, important documents, clothes, bedding, bath/toiletries, office supplies, laptop). I looked back over the list I made before I moved in. I made tremendous changes to it recently and the list was halved.
Also keep in mind that things also accumulate while you're in college, so you have to work things out with the limited space provided.
