I think the printer issue is personal preference. My daughter relies heavily on her printer. We start her off with two reams of paper and, since she prints on both sides when possible, that seems to work well. (She may well purchase additional, but doesn’t report in…)

Rooms come with a regular twin bed, desk, chair, bookshelf and chest of drawers. My daughter has an under the bed container for sheets, off season blanket,etc.) My daughter requested a desk lamp and a bedside lamp. She had bought one of those target floor lamps with multicolored shades, but those were apparently banned as potential fire hazzards. This past year (year 3), we bought her a small bedside plastic drawer/table, needed because of the room cofiguration.

The one thing that I did send up that she and her roomies have loved is a coat tree (Bed Bath and Beyond). They can hang their wet coats/towels on it. (Can you tell I had an older child in college in Buffalo!!!)

My daughter has never wanted a fridge. She is happy with the food choices on campus and doesn’t see the need. She doesn’t want her car up there either. She is very satisfied using the bus system for her consortium classes for the reasons expressed above…plus----“why have to scrape the car in the winter when you can just get on the bus?!”

As stated by Crewdad, Target and Walmart are within easy reach, so i wouldn’t stress.

If you are from a distance, I would try to make reservations now for a hotel in the area.
