I’m a freshman moving in this week, and I am having issues packing stuff.
Im pretty sure I’m overpacking but I don’t know where to cut down on stuff.
Transporting it isn’t an issue, I only have to drive four hours to get there and we have a huge truck. I’m more worried about having a huge mass of crap in my room oof

Current/former students - how much did you bring when you moved in, and what did you regret bringing?? (I’m staying in Mudge, so any dorm specific tips would help)

Parent here – my kid was a freshman last year at one of the Hill dorms. His room was tiny. There was not an inch to spare. One thing you can do, that may help, is look up the floor plan for your room (or room type) at Mudge. Then you can judge how much space you will have. If you have a roommate, communicate with him/her before hand in order to not duplicate things (e.g., no room needs two microwaves).

Good luck, and enjoy orientation.
