How to use this checklist:
- Cross out items you don’t need or want
- Add on the blank lines any items you need that are not listed
- For each item in the checklist circle P if you are going to PACK it; B. if you are going to BUY it; and F if you’re going to FIND it when you get to campus
- As you pack, mark each item so nothing is forgotten
Clothes
You can’t take everything you’ve got, and seriously, who would want to? Remember: clothes for class, clothes to study, clothes to relax, clothes to go to parties and clothes for… the occasional visits from PARENTS! Also, don’t forget those rooms – nothing worse than going somewhere and THERE ARE NO ROOMS!
