How to use this checklist:

1. Cross out items you don’t need or want
2. Add on the blank lines any items you need that are not listed
3. 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
4. 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!
