<p>You are a parent’s dream. Would that D had only had that much. The good news is, depending on which dorm you are in, there are very convenient Kmart, Staples and Best Buy stores in walking distance PLUS the Bed Bath & Beyond that you can take a shuttle to on move-in day. You COULD pack one towel, maybe a light bed cover just in case you don’t make it shopping that first day. My guess is in actuality, two suitcases may get you the basic clothing and toiletries to get started, but you’ll need your winter things etc shipped.</p>
