@JeanneAP, as an OOS parent of a kid that just finished freshman year at UVM in Engineering, leave ALL of it at home.

If he is assigned a triple, there is NO room for Xbox or turntable.

There is limited time to even use that stuff and even if he found room and time, it plays into him isolating himself.

We drove a packed car up, including a monitor. It was rarely used because the desks in the forced triple were under a loft with terrible lighting and no room to move around or set up easier.

Pay for you each to fly with 2 bags and don’t take anything else. Being from NOLA, he’ll need all new jackets, boots and winter clothes, so not much should be packed anyway.

Most UVM students need space in the dorm room for skis or hockey equipment. He can rent for the season.

The rooms are really small
