We had our S fly with duffles with built-in wheels that collapsed to nearly flat (easy to store almost anywhere). I would highly recommend this, since it saves having to use the under-the-bed space for storing suitcases. S is trying to keep his possessions minimal, which we encourage.
Some of those who drove to campus filled their vans & living quarters with TONS of stuff, including dressers w/ plastic drawer sets & lots of plastic bins for the dorm. The dorm rooms are really quite small & feel even smaller when you load it full of “stuff.” We will encourage D to think minimal too.
D hardly uses hangers or a closet now, so I can’t imagine her needing much hanging clothes closet space in college either. She can use that space to hide her “stuff,” I guess. She has a hard time parting with “stuff,” especially papers & artwork.
