[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question:  so if your child attends college where you have to fly there, do you rent a storage locker for all their stuff??!!

Do you porn the boxes on a local friend to store in their garage?[/quote]

My DD goes close by so brings it all home. Her friends who are from far away have a storage locker. Some share them. Some colleges provide on campus storage - mine did which was useful since it was a flight away.

To the 2 suitcase poster - ha ha! Even I took more than that to college 30 years ago, plus accumulated some things while I was there. Plus I had a bike, ski equipment, the ubiquitous milk crates, stereo, bedding (which now includes the foam egg crate pads and other bulky items). Def. more than you can take home in 2 suitcases at the end of the school year! My DD's stuff more than fills a large SUV.[/quote]

OP here. I was almost as bad as 2-Suitcase Guy. Besides the clothes, there was a TV, stereo and bedding. I don't think DS will have much more than that. I simply packed everything at the end of the year, and suspect we'll do the same for him. Some schools rent items like refrigerators and microwaves (which are not allowed in most dorm rooms) and with kids being able to watch and listen to whatever they want on their phones or laptops, I don't think I'll have to worry about lugging a TV or stereo set cross country.

We'll see. I never thought of that.[/quote]
