<p>Because we were flying across country, we did not take a printer. It was cheaper to just buy one there- I think we paid $60 for a wireless HP printer. Also bought a decent guitar on Craigslist for almost nothing when we got there. D is in off campus housing and rents year-round, so most of her stuff including winter clothing stays there when she comes home for the summer. If your S or D does have to move out for the summer, many colleges have storage companies nearby who will pick up boxes and store them for the summer so that you don’t have to take everything home. They will then deliver them back before school starts. It is usually pretty inexpensive and worth it headache-wise.</p>
