<p>What size boxes are we talking about? Nine sounds like a lot. I probably had four or five medium-sized cardboard boxes and a couple plastic bins. And a trash bag in which I unceremoniously tossed my clothes. I was also in a double.</p>
<p>I would try to cut down on the amount of clothes you bring. Definitely leave some at home so that you don’t have to haul a ton of clothes back every time you go home.</p>
<p>Like others have said, you will probably purchase clothing during the school year, especially with the Providence Mall so nearby.</p>
<p>Also, don’t bring too many pairs of fancy shoes (if you’re bringing any at all). If your campus is spread out, flat shoes will probably be best. My campus has horribly uneven pavement, so I wore many of my beloved heels only a couple times during the year.</p>
