<p>Here are some examples of checklists. Just make sure to check with your college to see what is and isn’t allowed. They usually have a list online in their housing section. For example, my daughter can’t have extension cords, nor are they supposed to have bed risers (although her roommate does, I notice.) Good luck! We have to go and move her out in a couple of weeks and I’m not looking forward to lugging all that stuff down three flights of stairs. At least, it’s down! :)</p>
<p>As for starting to buy supplies now, many stores don’t put their dorm supply inventory out in full force until the summer. Last year I bought a few things before that and starting stashing them away in a spare room. But, it wasn’t until July that I could really find larger items at stores like Target, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Kohl’s and Ross. </p>
