hiTEMPO: Bathrobe!
I read this somewhere on lovelyish, I believe, and think it's a great idea.

a lot less trouble than a falling off towel ^^

WithaFevertoTell:

only bring clothes that are season appropriate. like no winter clothes at the beginning of the year. you will lose valuable closet space.

writinghands: bring only necessities. You might be sharing a room with someone so you don't want to bring your whole wardrobe with you or like half of everything you own to college because you won't have the room.

X_LuvMeNot_X: Everyone gets so stressed about it, but seriously, anything that you don't use in an average day isn't necessary. I brought so many things that I thought I might need, and they just took up space. but don't forget your umbrella!

sorority_girl86: you don't need the 123453342509 million personal items and pictures and stuff your friends gave you. pick a few. if you want more, you can always bring them from home. but packing up all that stuff is such a bitch!
check out your room dimensions before you move in (most colleges have them on a website or you can call and ask). plan accordingly. see what your roommate is bringing.

listenslikespring: I brought, like, 15 of my hundreds of books, a DVD rack for my DVD's... I packed a lot into bins I could store under my bed. Lots of blankets [my roommates have it cold in here 24/7]... pillows, sheets, maybe one of those foam things to go onto of mattresses [uncomfortable as fuck], my XBox, pushpins for wall stuff, posters [too white]... that stuff.

Anas_Loyal_Slave: I say do bring dvds. i left mine and you'd be surprised around x-mas season you want to see a good holiday movie. bring them becuase you will be sad if you do not have them. tupper ware because it stores in the fridge & is microwavable.

lounge clothes - dont leave the ragged sweats - what will you lounge in?

leave the high school year book.. it gets old immediately! lol. have a great time in school!!! you will LOVE IT

vintagexkiss_quotes: rain boots if it rains a lot. a rolling laundry bag (so helpful!). from what everyone else has already said, these are the two most important! :)

snuffles_is_padfoot: milk crates or some kind of storage that will slide under the bed is a must.
