<p>I was wondering where my d can get all the things she would need to set up her dorm if she wants to wait to shop till she arrives?</p>

<p>Do most kids bring EVERYTHING the first day or do they shop a little at a time after they arrive?</p>

<p>I think the first day is 8/31 on a Thursday but classes don't start till what Wed?</p>

<p>Is a microwave necessary? Refrigerator...can you rent one from school? Buy your own? I guess she will first have to see if she gets a single or a double and then if a double work out w/ roomate what they want and share costs.</p>

<p>What are the things kids need in a dorm room? I think I saw a list one time posted.</p>

<p>I know it's early still but just trying to think about what she will need and when to get it.</p>

<p>Also, meal plan.............19 flex best?</p>

<p>There is a wal-mart about a mile from campus...just google wal-mart Hartford or something to find it. Most people have a fridge and a microwave and many but not all have a TV...there is someplace I think to rent one from the school but it is a ripoff when a microwave can cost as little as 25 bucks and a fridge 50. (I think a rental is like 150 for a fridge...but not sure).</p>
