<p>bought this last year. its small and works like a charm! 100% recommend it.</p>
<p>J. Crew is REALLY expensive. Do you guys shop in kids or adult⊠On the website for men, the sweaters can be easily 100+ dollars!</p>
<p>oh and are flannels good? thanks(:</p>

<p>B u m p !!!</p>
<p>The Container Store has some really awesome stuff and a section dedicated to dorm rooms! :D</p>
<p>I find this list fairly amusing. My advice would be to bring very little. Youâll quickly understand what you need & what you donât.<br>
I brought less and less every year. Only thing I would do is make sure you can sleep, clean and dress.</p>
<p>IMHO</p>
<p>Thought I should bump this for next years crowd :)</p>

<p>Note post 910 above. After two years, my kid still brings stuff he doesnât want home every vacationâand requests other stuff we wouldnât ever have thought of, which is easy enough to buy and send as needed. Your room will probably be small, and youâll have a roommate. As fun as it is to make lists and plan, Iâd really advise bringing the bare minimum until youâve scoped things out. Hereâs a slimmed down listânot that you wonât want some of that other stuff, but better to wait to see if, for example that handy over-the-door hanger is going to obscure the full length mirror already on the back of the doorâŠ</p>

<p>Anyone know what to do when your school doesnât let you nail, tape or stick stuff to the wall, the recommended sticky tack but I donât think that could hold a bulletin board⊠the overdoor hangers are good but there is only one door, anyone have other ideas?</p>
<p>The stick-on wall hooks by 3M come in lots of different sizes. If you get a board thatâs not too big, you can sometimes find one that has itâs own sticky stuff that will peel off the wall at the end of the year (just be careful when you peel!) Again, though, this is a case where waiting until you get there can be a good idea because the dorm may have something built in. For example, my kidâs dorm has a strip running along the top of the wall that stuff like bulletin boards can be tacked into. Also, different sticky stuff works better on different kinds of walls.</p>
<p>Thanks for the very useful thread. I am sending my 14 year old with most items listed here, except for a shaving kit. At what age do some other kids typically start shaving? I recall that I was 18 before I first shaved.</p>
<p>My son was 15 when he started shaving. The boys at Exeter usually participate in No Shave November and also February to prepare for Moustache March. :-)</p>
<p>My younger daughter fenced in a Y12 (1999-2002 birth years) tournament yesterday and one of the boys she beat had a mustache.</p>
<p>I was thinking of a shaving kit as a repository for toothbrush, floss and zit cream as much as a place for a razor. My boy would NOT use one of those shower totesâgirl stuff in his bookâso he needs something to tote all the small stuff in and out of the bathroom. My kid is still in the fuzzy haired stage of life; an electric razor, used every few days, is all he needs.</p>
<p>This good thread may be timely for those starting to plan.</p>
