Making a dorm room home
It is that time of year when the credit card takes a beating. I am not talking about Christmas, I am talking about shopping for "the list" of things your child needs to take to college the first time. If your child hasn't given you a list of what to bring to college yet, go to his/her university website and look under housing for their recommended list. This will not be all encompassing, and it will not be exactly what your child needs, but it is a start. There are 1000s of sites out there with their own lists according to whether or not they are trying to sell you something. Look at the lists and create your own.....then use it. Bring the list with you when you shop and cross off the things you already have. Most universities limit the kind of adhesive kids may use to hang things on those cinder block walls. Make sure you have 3M Command Adhesive. There are many sizes for most of your needs. Have lots of storage containers at the ready and pack them with all the things on the list. Remember, room sizes are small and your child will most likely be sharing the space as well. Make sure they are in contact with their roommate and they coordinate who is bringing what. Look in the Sunday papers for coupons and online as well. Recycle from your own home. If you go to one of the big warehouse clubs, make sure you make use of the goods stored on your shelves. Last but not least, send along some surprises for them to find as they unpack and decorate their room. A little bit from home will go a long way to make their dorm room "home". |
