<p>So, since I'm idly sitting here hoping to find out about roommates...</p>
<p>What's everyone bringing for the dorm? Favorite pictures? Special blanket? Posters? Fridge? Plasma screen 50" TV?? lol</p>
<p>Any advice on what NOT to bring?</p>
<p>I'm bringing photos of the family, friends, and cat that I will miss so much. I have no idea about the walls. I hate cheesy posters I do not want to spend the money for $200.00 prints.</p>
<p>I'm bringing a 27 inch television. I think it might be too big. I have a backup that's smaller.</p>
<p>I'm bringing a mini fridge, and an espresso maker that will probably end up being pointless, but hey, it was a gift. Also, a microwave if I don't get the roommate I requested, who said she would be bringing one. </p>
<p>I'm bringing a lot of clothes because I'm a psychopath. My dad is trying to sneak flip flops out of my 'packing' shoe box because he doesn't agree with my massive collection. </p>
<p>I will bring all the other normal 'stuff' for the bathroom and classroom. </p>
<p>I have an amazing bed set. I 'm also bringing a 5 headed floor lamp. Clark Kerr is large.</p>
<p>I have three special stuffed animals - a glowworm, a koala, and a stitch. I will probably bring them all. I wish I could bring my kittie.</p>
<p><3,</p>
<p>Izzie Bear</p>
<p>omg! Glowworms :)</p>
<p>I'm really proud of the ecclectic bedset I put together this summer and the matching accessories to go with. </p>
<p>I'm bringing a cute little fridge (with magnets) and posters to put on that weird wall thing in the Units. I just made my own French memo board last night (which I recommend to everyone as a "going away to college party" with friends).</p>
<p>Should I bring a vaccum and cleaning supplies and all that junk? Or can I find that in an obscure broom closet somewhere?</p>
<p>Since my dorm room is considerably smaller than IzzieBear's Mansion at CKC :) I'm bringing a blanket, comforter, two sheet sets, a pillow, my clothes, a desk lamp, shower flip flops, a pen holder that a family gave to me in Australia, my printer, my laptop, hangers, typical bathroom stuff, and some pictures or not; depends if I scan them onto my computer or not.</p>
<p>I'll get my microwave and mini-fridge over there (or hope that my roommate lives near Cal so that I don't have to worry about storage).</p>
<p>Oo. I'm also bringing magnets. Those word ones, that you can pair up into sentences. The 'dirty' edition. Let's hope I get the right roommate and not one that's easily offended. </p>
<p>I didn't include everything I'm bringing thats a given -laptop, printer etc..but yeah, that's all comin'. </p>
<p>I'm excited about the size of CK, but weary of the distance. </p>

<p>Wow... Im bringing a lot of stuff. Yesterday I went to Target and stocked up on Shampoo, Body Wash, school supplies, etc. That came to a grand total of more than $100... sigh. </p>
<p>Im also bringing all the bedding stuff, a desk lamp, a clip on lamp for my bed, all my clothes, books for 2 classes, a hamper, a bathrobe, hangers, and everything else you can imagine. </p>
<p>Im waiting to find out who my roommate is and talk to her before I buy a fridge, microwave, or tv, but I plan on having all three between the 2 of us. I wish they would flippin tell us already.</p>
<p>This whole 'dorm shopping' is sure costing a lot of money. We have already spent a few hundred dollars and we're not done yet. Since I've lived at home with my mummy and daddy all my life, I have never had my own supply of shampoo, much less a fridge. </p>
<p>I'm going clothes shopping tomorrow. This is the first time my parents have agreed to fund 'back to school shopping' in a long time. I'm going to ride the wave of freebies as long as possible.</p>
<p>Target is the place to get dorm stuff. Love it.</p>
<p><3,</p>
<p>Izzie Bear</p>
<p>I took care of clothes shopping in Singapore. They have so many deals there for the best of things.</p>
<p>My clothes, lappy, poster, lamp, Xbox, microwave, maybe a mini-fridge and a tv.</p>
<p>do we need a lamp? when i went to calso there was a desk lamp in the dorms.</p>
<p>I dont know, my CalSo didnt include dorms (damn that condensed transfer calso) but it says we need a desk lamp on the housing website.</p>
<p>Yeah, bring a lamp. It's listed under Move-In FAQ's.</p>
<p>aww, xbox!!! Let me visit you... I know I'm going to have withdrawls.</p>
<p>Anyway, now that we know who we're rooming with (assuming we actually get to talk to them) we can coordinate and totally match our rooms down to the cute-sy shower flip-flops <em>sarcasm</em> <em>sarcasm</em></p>
<p>I wanna see how much stuff I can fit in my dorm so I can bring my costumes and sewing machine... Those late nighters will totally inspire something.</p>
<p>hey eiffelguy, i'm just curious, how do you a family from australia</p>
<p>I'm going to go buy a couple of fits today, other than that I guess ill just bring a desk lamp, my computer and I guess thats it</p>
<p>nbanyk: I was in Australia two weeks ago visiting family. There, I met a family friend and they gave me an Aussie penholder as a small gift.</p>
<p>oh cool, i was in australia last summer playing with an orchestra</p>
<p>What part of Australia?</p>
<p>melbourne, sydney, a small place called proserpine, and townsville (went up north the eastern coast)</p>
<p>I was in Western Australia. I stayed in Perth. I want to study at the University of Melbourne or University of Sydney.</p>
