<p>You have also failed to realize that I have looked at nearly every college list that comes up on the first three pages of Google, as well as the list I was sent to here on College Confidential. That is actually how I found college confidential to begin with, the list in the College Life forum. </p>
<p>If this is such a large list, then why are there even larger lists across the internet? Because the purpose is to be prepared and not go with too little, regardless if that’s for you or not. I adapted those lists to my needs, and then placed them here to get some feedback as to how that worked with UT. I’m not sure you read the responses of others, but I learned that I don’t need quarters for laundry, that dorms are well light (in which case other colleges I’ve visited have horrible lighting), extension cords aren’t allowed, and neither are kitchen knifes. What are you expecting - That every college is going to have identical guidelines and identical setups?</p>
<p>I guess you’ve also missed that the list has been nearly cut in half, because I plan to buy things as I need them (also posted later in the thread in response to someones actual advice, not condoning me for having such a list to begin with). Regardless of your intent - you were disrespectful. You might also notice that my responses to those with real suggestions were a lot more pleasant than the responses that you have received from me. </p>
<p>Since you feel the need to make me see that I can just use CTRL + F 150 times, why don’t I make it clear to you that if you just answer people’s question, rather than adding in the fact you are irritated they won’t search (when they already have) - you will get a much better response from them. At the very least it would be thanks than posts 3 and 4 paragraphs long about you being incredibly rude and more importantly not very welcoming of people’s questions that you feel have been answered 15 times.</p>
