I’ve moved three kids into four schools so far. My daughter also has a lot of clothes. If you have room, it was much easier to unpack clothes on hangers. Also, you may want to bring something to clean the drawers, like 409 or a good basic cleaner and paper towels. Some drawers are clean, others not so clean. And some people like to line the drawers with shelf paper, so bring a scissors. A good little basic tool kit is great to have, as well as a first aid kit to leave in the closet. We got one at Target and it was really useful. Don’t forget vitamins as kids tend to get tired and catch things easily, especially those first few weeks. Oh, this tip from my son was great: During move in, or right after, pop some popcorn in the microwave and leave the door open to the dorm room. It’s a great way to meet people as you can smell it all the way down the hall!
