<p>I picked an old trunk I got from Army Surplus with towels, linens, pillows, and school supplies. I shipped it to Miami, my campus city, by air freight. It was either delivered to my dorm or I took a cab to the airport and picked it up. These were the days before UPS and FedEx. I packed everything up at the end of the semester in the trunk and shipped it home for the summer. I had a traditional regular dorm room, not the super suites so common today. No kitchenware and no light fixtures, no frills. I really think kids coming from far away need to keep it simple. You’ll be happy you did when you have to get out of the dorm right after finals are over.</p>
