<p>This thread makes me feel woefully unprepared for living in a dorm… All I am taking are clothes, bed stuff, my electronics, some books and my coffee set up… I am not taking a couch, TV, fridge or anything of those sorts.</p>
<p>

<p>I only brought a laptop, various electronics supplies/office supplies, lamp, alarm clock, bedding, and clothes/shoes my freshman year. I did buy a fridge when I got there, though. I didn’t find myself needing anything else. You’ll find out what you need and optimize.</p>
<p>Though subsequent years after that I’ve just ended up bringing more stuff. Sophomore year, added a desktop and TV. Junior year, a PS3 and tablet. Senior year, another laptop… now two laptops and a desktop, lol. I know it’s unnecessary, but usually you’ll end up storing stuff over the summer there anyways.</p>
