Also:

1. I trust you have coordinated with the roommate on any items to share (refrigerator, rug, tv, etc).

2. If bottled water is going to come in handy, it is much cheaper to bring cases than to buy by the bottle on campus.

3. The Move In Week Activities for the kids are fun and well organized.

4. You do not have that much time to set up the rooms before the kids start activities.

5. We found underbed storage bins; extension cords; power surge protectors; milk crates for closet storage; a message “whiteboard for the door”; shower clogs; folding chairs for visitors, cleaning wipes; minor first aid items, etc handy to bring–and still had to make a trip to Walmart or Target for stuff.

6. A debit card allowed me to easily dole out off campus spending $ and monitor its use.

Best of luck to you and Swatmom and your kids! You both strike me as very devoted, but not hovering parents and I hope you will advise us on their adjustment to campus life!
