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 
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.

Damn, time sure does fly by.
easy to lug laundry hampers (the pop up style are great -- have at least 2).
mattress pad for your bed (god knows who did what on it since the mattress was last replaced. If you're "privileged" -- spend the money on a mattress topper).
a portable file caddy with hanging folders -- for those few things you want to keep old-school paper style.
If you're in a dorm, somebody else is paying for the heating, cooling and electricity of your place (yes, technically you pay it in the fees, but whether you use 50 kw per month or 5,000 kw, it won't cost you a dime more. Enjoy it while you can....
If I didn't have to pay for heating or cooling, there wouldn't be too many limits on my computing.
Also, what are you majoring in? Do Math or Engineering (seriously).... don't do liberal arts, business (depends), or education. Math, engineering.... the classes will suck and you will have to study more than your peers, but you have to decide if you're there for an education or to party and have fun. If you're there for fun, save the tuition and fees and don't go to college.

Just don't over-cook my fries and we're cool.
Are you implying my selected majoring could result in me not finding any available positions in my desired field and I would have to resort to working at a fast food chain to make ends meet? Shocking.....
I am actually majoring in Finance.

Yeah, I am the moron here....
Not sure how much you think I am paying for college.... After the scholarships I just got last week, it is a full ride.
