[quote=Anonymous]Do not use any of the store lists - they have way too much stuff that students don't need. Details really depend on your student preferences, but start minimal and then add in the fall once they know how they are actually living. Main categories are bedding, laundry, bath & toiletries, clothes & closet organization, cleaning supplies, office supplies, kitchen/snacks, technology (phone/computer), and entertainment.

A few college specific things to consider that they may not already have in their bedroom:
Foam topper for the bed, 8" bed risers, lapdesk, backrest pillow for the bed, small fan, 15 ft 3-prong extension cord, LED desk lamp
My DS's weren't super into decorating, but we got a $15 wall tapestry off Amazon which was quick and really made the room look nice.

I made some "boxes" of set of things using sterilite boxes with the latching lids:
Medicine box (various cold/flu, bandaids etc.), Kitchen box (some basic silverware, cups, plates, chip clips, can opener, small knife, small cutting board, etc.), Office box (stapler, hole punch, scissors, etc.), sewing kit, small toolbox[/quote]
