<p>What major do you need to dress for class? Ive never heard of that?</p>
<p>Bring what you wnat, but I wouldnt suggest more than 2-3 weeks of stuff.</p>
<p>...beleive it or not, nursing.</p>
<p>it says so in the nursing handbook</p>
<p>im bringing 2big luggage, and a shoulder bag, and a laptop, everything else I can buy while im at the dorm</p>
<p>my friend has two people in a triple dorm and her roomates clothes took up two closets.. definitely dont bring that much lol</p>
<p>I can't bear leaving any of my clothes at home (well, most of them, anyway)! I have 2 footlockers/trucks and 2 18 gallon totes (one is for shoes, though...) full.</p>
<p>My roommate is going to think I'm a spoiled brat.</p>
<p>However many clothes you decide to bring, make sure they're ones you actually like and wear. Not "I wear it because it's there," but "I wear it because it's comfy and I enjoy the way I look." Quality over quantity!</p>
<p>I am taking 3 massive duffle bags full of clothes...wait, 4...might be more by the time I move in tomorrow, and another bag full of shoes.</p>
<p>i'm bringing all my clothes that still fit and that i actually wear. i'm figuring about one large suitcase for clothes, and then 2-3 boxes more to ship to myself so i don't have to carry it all on move-in day.</p>
<p>bring as much as you can (but leave the stuff that u never wear at home) and take the excessive part back home during the fall break. i only have enough for 10 days and i do fine.</p>
<p>Think about the first time you'll be coming home again. If it's not until winter break, then nevermind this advicce, but if it's earlier...say a fall break or something...then for now, just bring essentials. Stuff you know you'll use, miss, want, need, whatever. Having to do laundry much more or less often than every other week can get to be a pain, in my opinion. When you get comfortable with the environment, climate, your schedule, and so forth, then you can drag more of your stuff along with you. By that time you'll be a little more detached from your clothes and have a better idea of what you really want/need. It's a lot easier to bring the minimum and have room for expansion than to bring too much and have to pare down later. You also don't want to overwhelm your roommate...I lived with a girl whose clothing took over our room and she did laundry about twice a year. It was occasionally handy but more often annoying.</p>
<p>I cleaned out a lot (and I do mean a LOT...) of my clothes and donated about half...the rest I'm taking to college (it really isn't that much).
My dorm room comes with a walk-in closet...=D</p>
<p>Do you have to share this wonderful closet?</p>
<p>All you are going to be wearing most of the time is jeans and tee shirts. Most kids end up not wearing half of what they start out bringing. Dress is not nearly as important as in high school (except certain majors)...it's whatever you can toss on before running out to your first class. 50 pairs of shoes......pick 5 and bring those.</p>
<p>The closet space varies from school to school and dorm to dorm but most have about 3 feet of hanger rod and two or three drawers (pretty decent sized). Anything else you have to bring your own. A lot of people put one of the stacking shelf deals in their closet and you can put a storage box under your bed (unless you go with loft beds). Figure on about half the space you would have in a small home bedroom for total storage.</p>
<p>Plan to bring enough clothes to last two weeks between doing laundry. Laundry is a PIA that ends up taking hours to complete, so you want to do it as infrequently as possible. Unless you do it at odd times it never seems like there is a drier available, so you have to sit with your wet clothes waiting for someone elses stuff to get done.</p>
