<p>and what should I leave home? Like laptop, dorm decorations, etc...</p>
<p>LOL, you still have many months before you actually go to college, so you have lots of time to decide what to bring. </p>
<p>These sites basically sum up what you should bring:

<p>except I would say you don’t need shower shoes, extra long bed sheets. </p>
<p>Basically: Sheets/blankets/pillow/alarm clock/shower caddy with all personal necessities/towels/clothes for all seasons/occasions/shoes/flipflops/school supplies/desk lamp/printer/bike/skateboard/laptop/water filter/food/sports equipment/cords/extension cords/anything that you enjoy doing like movies/video games/etc/money/passport/id/watch…etc
You will decide with your roommate(s): microwave/television/refrigerator</p>
<p>This is good- I almost just started this exact thread! I’ll be moving to SD from seattle wa, and just read that socal enjoyed 190 straight days w.o rain=the opposite of what i’m used to. it’s it really that nice there? should i bother bringing my parka?</p>
<p>and as far as other stuff, forbes covered it.</p>
<p>Bring your parka/clothes to layer with because its not sunny here all year long. A few weeks ago, it was cold/windy/rainy. When it rains, you just don’t wanna go to class -_-
It started to get sunny last week…during finals. But when it gets sunny, it’s really nice. You gotta wear your summer clothes/wear sunscreen/sunglasses etc :D</p>
<p>Okay I completely disagree about the no shower shoes - the people in our suite were beyond disgusting and I would have died if it weren’t for my shower shoes.</p>
<p>ALSO they sometimes have temperpedic mattress pads at Costco and I would highly recommend them. The dorm mattresses are like rocks.</p>
<p>Bring an umbrella and some hoodies for the winter.</p>
