Making the decision to go to school and actually find the right school to attend has probably been overwhelming. But you have finally made a decision and are in the process of getting things together for school. If you have been thinking about what you should bring with you to college, then the following will give you some in sight on what you should include in your college packing list.

The first thing that you will probably start packing is your clothing. You might want to bring all of the clothes that you own. But you should be aware that some schools require that you move all of your belongings from the dorm at the end of each semester. So you should limit the amount of clothing that you pack.

You will also need to bring toiletries and personal items. Toiletries would include items like a toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant. But you will also probably want to bring shower shoes (flip flops), a bathrobe, and a bathroom caddy. Many dorms have community bathrooms, where there is one bathroom that is centrally located on each floor. You would want the shower shoes to prevent your feet from getting in contact with the shower floor since other people may have conditions like athletes foot. The bathrobe is to keep you covered as you travel down the hall. And the bathroom caddy makes carrying personal items between your room and the bathroom easier.

Since you are going to school, you will want to bring school supplies. This would include items like a backpack, paper, pens and binders. You might also want to bring a computer so that you do not have to deal with lines or a time limit at the computer lab.

Each dorm will usually be furnished with at least a bed, closet, and a desk with a chair. But you may want to bring some items with you to make the room comfortable so that it feels a little more like home. These items might include a lamp, rug, and possibly some curtains.
