For those of us with sons & who are flying to take kids to school, it’s pretty different. S packed very lightly, brought his laptop & did a lot of shopping up there for bedding, towels, and the few other things he needed. Each summer, he has found a friend to leave his things with so he doesn’t bring everything home every year. I agree that even if the dorm has elevators, it’s much easier to use the stairs.
(S’s dorm had 2 elevators for 8 floors, 20 rooms/floor. You do the math! As mom’s perogative, I did use the elevator to get his bulkier things up with me while hubby, D, S had made several trips up & down the stairs (he was on 7th floor). S acquired hangers & shelf paper in LA from a family friend who was discarding them.
