[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take note of the cabling recommendations.  Ethernet cable may be necessary.  The wireless in dorms can be pretty bad.
If you're buying towels , I would get some that differentiate hers from others.  Athletes run through a lot of towels - 3 bath and 6 hand towel size for the sports bag.
Net laundry bag for socks in washer/dryer.
Command Hooks
Over the door hooks in normal and commercial widths
Full length mirror that hangs over a door.
Rented a fridge/microwave so included some microwave safe containers for reheating and storage along with some utensils
Lots of thin storage efficient hangers (Huggies from container store) plus some plastic ones for hanging wet laundry
Clothes steamer
Collapsible laundry basket (bed, bath and beyond) and dirty laundry bins (bought the thin net ones from Container Store)
Outfitted a first aid kit that included cold meds and injury related stuff plus the enzyme packets.  Put a copy of the prescription card in that too.   The kids never think about this until something happens then tey feel to bad to get to the CVS.
Temperpedic mattress pad, mattress cover for bed bugs and then top mattress pad.  Dorm mattresses are about 3" thick
I also got a European size pillow as a backrest for the bed.

What we didn't initially buy but should have is a laptop cover that is shatter and waterproof.  The kids tend to loft the beds for storage and big OOPs when they fall asleep with their computers in bed.[/quote]

This is all very useful, thank you. I didn't even think of Ethernet cable! I realize I am completely unprepared for the actual dorm move, I am emotionally fine, but I better start working on it. Not much time left at all. He does need a ton of injury meds and creams for even when no injured. Thank you so much! He is on Everything Meal Plan, I wonder if he can take a container to cafeteria and then take some food for later at night?  He is always hungry again past 9pm.[/quote]
