I know there are lists provided from the school, and various stores about what to bring, but I wanted advice from actual college students. Is there anything you didn’t think to bring but should have? And weird things that you forgot? Any other advice? At this point, all I’m positive about bringing is bedding and my clothes…
You may want to post this on the UCSB forum instead, but if you’re okay with more general advice, there are more things you could bring.
Of course you have the necessities, like toiletries and a laundry basket/detergent. Some posters for your wall, if you feel like it, and whatever your school allows you to use to set up said posters. That’s all I can think of at the moment.
Off the top of my head:
Posters, command strips and hooks, Whiteboard (if you’re a STEM major), extension cables, surge protector, Ethernet cable, computer monitor, speakers, curtain (you should buy after you see the room and know the correct measurements), mimifridge, microwave, batteries, first aid kit, lamp/extra light source, router (check with the school’s IT department if this is OK)
