If you have a student who is soon to be leaving home, bound for a college campus, I don’t have to tell you that there are quite a few things that he/she will be needing.   Start collecting now so you are prepared when it is time to begin packing. A little here and a little there will help prevent the last minute rush to satisfy the comfort level of your Freshman-to-be.

• Bedding for an extra long twin: sheets, mattress pad, bedspread
• Lamp: for late night study sessions
• Alarm clock: to make it to class on time
• Laptop or Tablet: an absolute must for today’s college students
• Cell Phone: with all important contacts included
• Student Planner: whether digital or paper, to keep track of class times, study sessions, homework, and final exams
• Dishes/Utensils: a few plates, bowls, cups, and pieces of silverware are necessary
• Laundry basket: don’t forget some detergent and a roll of quarters
• School supplies: paper, pencils, folders, binders, highlighters, tape, stapler
• Money: start saving now for a little “nest egg” to start out the semester
