<p>Ahhh, this is great! Hahaha also, never too much underwear.</p>

<p>Thanks for making this!</p>

<p>From a previous post I forgot to include an external hard drive… The clothes would be a bit much BUT it’s not like i’d bring all this to my dorm… It’d be just to have lol</p>

<p>“45 pairs of underwear”</p>

<p>I think I’ve never owned more than 10 boxers at a time.</p>

6

<p>^You obviously need to stock up on some thongs then.</p>

7

<p>Assuming you aren’t in the middle of a gap year, remember to enjoy senior year too. ;)</p>

8

<p>Until you know where you end up, consider the possibility that you won’t have as much storage space as you might like. I’ve had friends who didn’t have space for a fridge except in their closet, and that arrangement obviously gets in the way of keeping a different outfit for each day of the month.</p>

9

<p>Oh, I’m a real girly girl and I wouldn’t store all of this in my dorm. Oh heavens no! I’d rotate my clothing lol.</p>

10

<p>Were do you plan on storing it?</p>

11

<p>I can’t believe you have this many bras. Do you seriously wear them all? At most, I can see 10 and then it just descends into chaos.</p>

12

<p>

</p>

<p>ummm… this doesn’t add up</p>

13

<p>

</p>

<p>You don’t need 45 pairs of underwear if you got gloves and vaseline.</p>

14

<p>You intend to do laundry only 3 times per semester? That will be a lot of laundry when you have to do it, though.</p>

15

<p>I feel bad for whoever your roommate is going to be, they’re going to have no room because of all your stuff.</p>

16

<p>Nice, I like making lists too, especially amidst stressful times like college apps.</p>

<p>Your school will probably provide a garbage can and cork board. Your bed may be loft-able by itself, find out when you get assigned your dorm. I wouldn’t bring antibacterial soap, unless you have a sink in your room. Definitely don’t need 4 sheets! Even 2 sets has been more than enough for me. I didn’t need a clock because I just look at my phone/ipod or use set the alarm on those. YES umbrella. Thought I wouldn’t need one because I’m in LA…pours one day, doesn’t go to chemistry because I’d have to walk through campus soaking wet. I just use my roommate’s hair dryer. Don’t know if you or your roommate would be up for that, otherwise, it’s definitely something you can share. Dresses: you probably don’t need 3 formal dresses. Also, you have a lot of shirts! If you’re tight on space, I’d cut down on shirts and bras.
You might not have enough room for all those clothes, but whatever suits you.
Some things you might want to add: desk lamp, printer and binder paper, speakers, utensils, bowl/plate, cup.</p>

17

<p>This is a great and thorough list! Thanks for making this, it’ll definitely help me. </p>

<p>I’d scale back on the numbers though (especially the bras and the socks!). I think people in college generally dress down (compared to high school students) so you might want to take into account how your fashion sense will change once you have those lazy mornings and days with only 1-2 classes.</p>

<p>This was my college packing list, which some things were added to and deleted off of here but I didn’t update it. So you can look at this for more ideas.</p>

<p>I brought a lot of stuff…I have 52 pairs of shoes in my dorm!</p>
