Also since we get an employee discount with FedEx we shipped her dorm items and then flew. The campus post office stored them for us until we arrived and several of the CA’s helped us move them to her room.
There is a coin laundry in the dorm. Try to leave them a roll of quarters. This year I bought the new Purex sheets that you use in the washer and dryer so no lugging liquid detergent to the basement.
Her bed was on risers so there was plenty if storage room underneath. I bought rubbermaids to stash away winter stuff etc.
Her room had a basic bed, a tall dresser, a low bookcase, and a desk. The desk had a shelf and a bulletin area built in. Her closet was quite small (Wharton) but that varies. We got those over the door hook racks for extra hanging space.
She used a wicker hamper which hid the dirty clothes from view and smell lol but had a removable bag inside to take downstairs.
They have very limited space so don’t overdo it. It’s a dorm room. And they accumulate “stuff” during the year. Remember you’ll be picking it all up next May and taking it home!! Lol
