<p>When I moved into the dorm I’m currently in back in May, I took two car trips (Pontiac Vibe) and I’m in a single. I don’t remember what I brought freshmen year. But I had a lot of awkward sized things too–snowboard, mirror, printer, TV, etc. I had I think 3 suitcases of shirts, shorts, pants, coats, and 2 or 3 small boxes of underwear and socks. The rest of the boxes were books, movies, decorations, souvenirs, stuff for work, food, etc.</p>
<p>9 boxes should be good for a double. If it’s 9 boxes of just clothes–that’s overkill. But 2-4 boxes (I’m guessing big boxes?) of clothes and the rest other stuff for the room would be alright.</p>
