[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids started packing the day before college move-in drive this year; as parent, I pre-ordered sheets, towels, etc., any supplies I needed to wash the days before; I also ordered basics -like a "shelfie", laundry cart, etc, shower caddy, online and packed into bags; my kid sorted through clothes/what personal items to bring literally the day before; I did not sweat it; helped out as far as having bags and functional items avaialble, but really can order anything later on Amazon! Good luck![/quote]

Entirely on my own since age 18. On athletic scholarship. I stuffed a duffle bag full of athletic gear and toothbrush and so on and hitched a ride with a local guy on the golf team to travel the 900 miles. I survived.

My daughter went to Michigan. She on her own packed early. We did budget for Meijer to lessen the amount of stuff we had to move. She was on a full academic ride so could be generous.

My other kid went to Princeton and not much space in the old rooms. She is a type A and packed early.

This reminds me that I was a lucky do very little parent. [/quote]
