What You Need for College

Kitchen Supplies

Bowls: Bring some bowls so you can prepare easy meals like cereal and canned soup.

Plates: Have a few plates.

Mug: Late night coffee, hot chocolate, or even cereal!

Fork, knife, spoon: You can use disposable, but you may want a few sets.

Can opener: College students often eat the prepared foods, and being able to open them is a must.

Tupperware: Leftovers are a big deal when you are paying for your own food, so make sure you have the containers to save them.

 

Room Needs

Lamp: Late night reading or studying while your roommates are sleeping is made possible with lamps.

Alarm: You do want to get to class on time right?

Trash can: This may or may not be provided for you, but better safe than sorry.

Storage: Having some kind of filing system is a good idea so you can keep track of all the work you've done.

Hangers: Unless you never hang anything up you should bring enough hangers for your clothes?

Bulletin board/dry erase: Notes from people who stop in, reminders for class work, study groups, etc.

 

Electronics

Computer: Research, turning papers in, checking your Facebook, or just having fun.

Printer: Some professors may require a hard copy of your assignment.

Phone cord: In case you have dial up internet.

Ethernet cord: So you can connect the internet to your computer in case your router dies.

Headphones: So you can listen to music even when your roommates are home or asleep.

Surge protector: It's a good idea to use one in order to protect your computer.

Extension cords: Outlets may be hard to come by in convenient places in a dorm room.

Music player: Help you focus and decompress.
