My D went the other way–from CA to MA. We (both parents) came along for the trip so she was able to pack and carry 4 suitcases–2 rollers, 2 big duffles–and an instrument. The duffles worked really well for her clothes and other soft stuff like bedding and towels–after she unpacked them, we were able to fold them up, put them in one of the rollers and take it home–leaving her with one suitcase at school.

She put all the music she wanted to take on an mp3 player. She got a laptop for grad, so we didn’t have to ship a computer. We ended up buying things like laundry stuff, bath stuff, a nightstand, a tool set (a CC suggestion from another thread which came in handy), extension cords, etc. once we got there. Frig rented there.

She took way too much stuff!! But her roommate brought MORE since she drove up from New York!!

Good thing about coming to CA is that clothes packing will be pretty simple. You’ll probably be able to leave most of it at home!
