[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summary:  It totally depends on the kid and the dorm they live in.  Start with only the bare basics and have Amazon deliver anything else.[/quote]

I agree not to go overboard, but at my DC's school the mail room/Amazon lockers were absolutely slammed the first month or so, and I wouldn't count on your kid being able to get anything they need quickly.  If you're driving them to school, it worked well for us to move in and then make a Target run for the additional things they needed (as I recall -- more power strips, bean bag chair, shelving and stool to access the lofted bed). This worked because DC was in a big city with about 5 Targets within driving distance. I've heard the stores in the small college towns get really picked over quickly. [/quote]
+1 agreed, and also at my DC's college, all packages were sent to a central mail room, NOT the dorm itself. And for DC, said mail room happened to be a bit of a haul from his dorm. Fine for smaller stuff, but it would not have worked well to ship something like a mini fridge or an area rug.  [/quote]
