As I’ve posted on many other threads - “less is more”. Start lean, then send more as needed (if it fits).

I’ll echo the concern about Xbox. There are so many exciting things on campus the first weeks… as well as intense academics. Sadly I do know a few engineering students that had to drop out. I can’t say it was the gaming addiction that for sure caused it, but having that distraction was surely NOT a good thing when things got tough for classwork.

One of my kids knew another engineering student in the dorm that was not happy. So the well-intentioned mom send MORE gaming gear. My kid commented that it was the last thing that student needed since he already spent too much time in the dorm room.
