<p>I’ll also recommend a water filter. Some nights, you just want to come home and have a nice clean source of water available. Otherwise you’ll be spending a lot of money on bottled water.</p>
<p>Also, I kept milk, cereal, and bowls/plates in my freshman dorm room. I used them too.</p>
<p>Don’t get a single 5-subject notebook. Get 5 separate notebooks. And then get a folder to go along with each. Take notes in the notebook, put papers in the folder. Bonus points if your notebooks and folders are color-coordinated.</p>
<p>If the bookstore is out, go to the dollar store in the UV, they always have lots of school supplies.</p>
<p>Also, bring a mini stapler that you can carry in your backpack and always have with you. So incredibly useful, for me at least.</p>
