It’s not minimalist, but it seemed ok:
To move using a minivan, D16 packed the following for her shared room in a suite:
2 plastic underbed drawer chests (electronics, clothes, paper goods);
5 lidded plastic bins (aka totes?) filled with desk/school supplies, textbooks, toiletries/medicines, some cooking gear, laundry/cleaning supplies;
2 big plastic trash bags (bath/bed linens);
3 big plastic trash bags covering clothes on hangers;
1 accordion file;
1 gym bag (jewelry, clothes);
1 cardboard bankers box (food); and
2 medium trash bags for shoes/boots.
She also had a few loose items (medium step-stool, canvas laundry hamper, bike helmet, plunger/brush, shoe rack…) and my large boat-tote with move-in day tools and cleaning supplies.
We also brought a small folding platform hand-cart, which was a help. D16 planned to send home all the bins/totes, the bankers box, and my move-in kitbag with us.
I bet she packed twice as many clothes as she will likely need, but no harm done. She will have to cook herself breakfast on weekends, because of limited dining hall hours then, so that explains the bit of cookware. (Her roommate brought the fridge and microwave.) The rental minivan was more than adequate for the move, and accommodated mom, dad, and kid. This list might just help me when planning to move her back home next May!
