Moving to college is a landmark in life and can be a very exciting experience. Your years spent in college are often among the happiest of your life; however, packing for the move can be tough, as it is difficult to know what you should take with you.
The best thing to do in this instance is to come up with a list of the clothes and possessions that you can’t do without at college. Once you have come up with a list of the absolute necessities, it is time to begin choosing the right supplies for the move. During this preparation time you need to keep in mind all the different situations you may encounter in your first few months at college, such as a change in the weather.
There is no need to over-pack, but at the same time you do not have to leave something big behind if you wish to take it with you – you can always have it shipped to college instead. Shipping some items can be much wiser than trying to carry them with you, and at the very least shipping is an option that should always be kept in mind.
Making a move to college is a big step and the items that you pack and take with you often have a big impact on your experience. You should always make sure that you have properly prepared so that your time at college is comfortable. If you have a roommate, be sure you keep in contact to ensure you’re aware of who is bringing what of items to be shared.
