[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is all the stuff to buy? Some bedding, towels and blu-tak. Maybe a shampoo caddy?[/quote]

Twin XLong sheets, blanket, mattress topper/egg crate, pillow(s).
Towels
Clothing (kids like to reinvent themselves when they go away to college)
Shoes
Under-the-bed-boxes
Posters for the walls
Alarm clock as backup for iPhone running out of juice
Laptop
School supplies (pens, pencils, calculator, stapler, staples, scotch tape, fun-tak, whatever else)
Shampoo
Conditioner
Soap
Razor
Bowl
Fork & Spoon

I could go on and on, but hopefully you get the idea.[/quote]

But most of that stuff you don't buy junior year of high school. In fact most of it would be silly to buy 1.5-2 years in advance since tastes and needs may change or be dependent on the school. Or you don't want to pay to ship conditioner to California. I've sent 2 kids to college and both really wanted to do most of this themselves. It's part of THEIR process. The only thing that had any real lead time was monogrammed sheets and towels (that's only a girl thing obviously) and even that was only a couple of weeks.[/quote]
