The two things that my student would absolutely recommend would be:
-
a supportive desk chair because your student will be spending a LOT of time at their desk. The chairs that my kid’s school provided in the dorms were wooden, non-adjustable, and extremely uncomfortable. Almost every kid, even the international kids, bought their own chairs and put the school-supplied ones in the dorm basement for the year. We purchased one from Office Depot (school was extremely particular about the fabric on the chair, apparently it’s a fire code thing so make sure that you read any instructions on types of chairs allowed).
-
a mattress topper. Check out what school supplies on the bed frame but chances are it’s a basic mattress block that is designed to have some kind of more comfy cushioning on top. We purchased a topper from Bed Bath and Beyond but I hear that Lucid from Home Depot is popular. I don’t suggest you open it until you get to the dorm or you’ll be wrestling it back into its packaging for a few hours before you depart for orientation. We also bought a non-slip pad from Amazon to stop the topper sliding off the mattress.
As a parent, I’d recommend packing an easily accessible bag for move-in day with command strips, scissors, Clorox wipes, a door stop, extension cords and power strips, duct tape, a sharpie, a trash bag, a mallet and a cooler of cold drinks (for you, your student, and to hand out to other parents. It’s a good way to get to know the parents of kids living in rooms next to your kid!)
