Note section

  • Before purchasing or packing items, it's wise to connect with your future roommate to avoid duplicating large items like microwaves and mini-fridges, which can save both space and money.

  • Consider the climate of your college's location when packing clothes and seasonal items; if you're moving to a different climate zone, research typical weather patterns to ensure you're prepared for the season changes.
