I would add that some kids are able to come home before seasons change and, therefore, can bring fewer things initially. In my D’s case, the weather turns from hot to snow before she’s able to come home so her clothes run the gamut from sundresses to bulky sweaters and boots.
To transport clothes and shoes, D uses one large and one medium suitcase (which she stores in the trunk of her car) and garbage and duffle bags. And at year end she packs up her clothes and bedding, brings those items home, and moves bins, rug, lamps, decorative objects, etc. into a storage facility.
Some kids like my S are minimalists. Other kids like my D like to make their room homey and have more clothes/shoes so they utilize storage systems to keep things neat and organized. As long as a student’s stuff doesn’t encroach into the roommate’s space and the student is able and willing to move it, I don’t see an issue with bringing a lot of things.
