<p>We just came back from DS's freshman orientation. So much info. to digest!</p>
<p>We just started shopping for stuff for his room (Governor's). We are flying up and will probably pre-ship his personal stuff and then pick up his room items at the local BB & Beyond. DH wants to just buy all the stuff up there! </p>
<p>So, what are the essentials for a freshman? What do you recommend as MUSTS? What should be purchased at home (or per-ordered)? What can wait until we arrive at UB?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help...</p>
<p>From what I've seen, the dorm rooms in Governor's aren't that big, so there is no need for your son to take his entire bedroom with him when he moves in. I recommend just taking personal items (clothes, sleepwear, toiletries, bed stuff, school supplies) and then just buying whatever you need at one of the stores in W. Amherst (the town where UB North Campus is located).</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply! I was beginning to worry that no one was online!!
I'm sorry if I wasn't more specific. I was hoping to get an idea of what's essential (other than the usual clothes, bedding, etc.) or something that I might not think of!! We are flying so some stuff is being shipped and we will purchase other things once we arrive.</p>
