Heading off to College, What do I need?

4,324 1,198 May 7, 2013 at 12:40 PM in Chat
Alright, so this upcoming fall, I will be heading off to college and I have a basic idea of what to take.... I assume some of the people here attended college Smilie and I would like some input on what else I would need.... Here is a basic list of what I plan on taking:


-Desktop
-Laptop
-iPad
-Printer
-10 pairs of shorts/t-shirts
-2 pairs of fancy clothes
-mini fridge
-microwave
-Chair (the one provided by the college looks like a POS)
-futon (maybe)
-pencils/pens/markers/etc....
-Quarters
-Sandals/Flip Folps
-Lamp
-Towels
-Powerbag backpack
-Headphones
-Hot Plate (not sure what for....)
-hangers


I figure if I can have a comprehensive list, I can start buying them as I find deals on them. Iam not really picky on most of the stuff. The ones I care about, I already have (desktop and laptop). The rest is basic.

I am going to Creighton for a year. I don't know which building is my dorms. I applied for Swanson, so if I get it, no communal showers. I probably will just do my laundry at my house sometimes....
Stop by SPAHP office of the dean and say :howdy: once you get to campus. It is an awesome school with a tremendous sense of family.
