If you are staying in the dorms, some kind of flip-flop you can use in the shower.

Mini-fridge
Microwave
Alcohol

 

[Oscar1613]

dont forget your emergency locator beacon so the rescue choppers can find you

 

[JohnCU]

lots and lots and lots of alcohol

 

[GTaudiophile]

flip-flops

 

[iwantanewcomputer]

dorm or apt? cook yourself or meal plan? are important.

laundry detergent and a roll of quarters
anything that can help you seduce ladies
big a$$ speakers and TV are a must.

 

[InlineFour]

fleshlight, everything else is unimportant.

 

[Synth3t1c]

apartment, no meal plan iirc

 

[slpaulson]

If you're in the dorms, a futon and loft are nice.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

search google, I know some news websites have articles and lists for what to bring to a dorm, they're pretty good from what I've seen too

 

[lizardth]

Something to decorate the walls with because institutional colors get old fast.

 

[Shadowknight]

bathrobe, when going to the shower. It's a pain to change clothes in the bathroom, so it's a lot easier.

 

[PHiuR]

bring $

 

[Synth3t1c]

keep em comming, money and fleshlight are pretty obvious

 

[kyparrish]

I'd just take one computer. I'd also look into one of those little lifejackets with the tube you can blow into to inflate it.

 

[Epic Fail]

water raft

 

[deerslayer]

Beer and condoms.

 

[Synth3t1c]

I'm a college student and I go the desktop/laptop route. It all depends on whether or not you use the laptop to take notes in class. I do, and it makes my life much easier, since I can't usually read my own handwriting if I have to do it quickly. Most of my professors don't care, and when class gets boring you can always nef on AT. If however you don't use it in class, it really is a bother more than anything else. My roommate did the same thing, but even as an English major since he didn't use it to take notes, it got all lonely sitting in his corner.
