<p>This may be a little early, but can someone list the typical necessities you need to pack when you move in during the fall?</p>

<p>…you have a lot of time dude.</p>

<p>things i can think of at the top of my head:

  • desk lamp
  • clothes
  • toiletries
  • printer
  • school supplies (binders, pens, **** like that)
  • maybe cooking supplies if you want to cook
  • bed sheets + pillow + blankets
  • towels
  • snacks
  • microwave, fridge (can share this duty with roommates)
  • maybe tv if you want one
  • laundry hamper and other laundry ****
  • maybe a fan (not THAT necessary, but sometimes it helps)
  • locks (you can lock **** in your desk drawer)</p>

<p>Wait till late August-early September to shop for stuff and pack, if you can. All the big stores have their clearance deals on college stuff because all the semester kids already left!</p>

<p>I recommend going to Target (before you leave for here) and get their “Dorm in a bag”. It has bedsheets, a comforter, towels, a pillow, and some other stuff. I got it for $35 and it was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worth it compared to other stuff I saw at other stores. I would have been paying at least $35 alone for just the comforter at a place like Macy’s. I’m serious guys, get it. Honestly, I’d just buy everything for college at Target.</p>

<p>Wait till you get there and then go to the Walmart closest to UCSD. Half the new admits will be there. Bring a rule to measure space. We showed up with lamps, shelving, hamper, and nothing fit even though a lot was handed down from a UCSD grad. Bring tools. We bought and assembled a small end table to hold a printer. We did more shopping than most due to a less-than-ideal dorm space. You’ll never know the whole picture till you get there. Bring a flashlight for when you get back to your room when the roommates are asleep. Bring a few very basic eating utensils, mug, cereal bowl and dish towel.</p>
