Your college probably lists these restrictions online.

]]> 12072 1 29 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/467/29.jpg Contact roommate Contact your future roommate to discuss what each of you is brining. Some objects you only need one of.

]]> 12073 2 38 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/467/38.jpg Start w/ basics Start with the basics: bedding of the proper size, a towel, toiletries. Don’t go overboard—you will still be capable of purchasing objects once you leave home.

]]> 12074 3 49 Tip Dorm rooms often have unusual bed sizes, like “twin extra long.” Don’t buy sheets until you know what will fit.

]]> 12075 4 56 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/467/56.jpg Don't pack all your clothes Don’t pack every bit of clothing you own. You’ll probably go home for fall or winter break, so you can pick up what you need then.

]]> 12076 5 64 Tip Going to college is a unique opportunity to change your identity. Pack accordingly—sometimes it’s better to be without an object than to have something that’s embarrassing.

]]> 12077 6 73 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/467/73.jpg Consult packing list Consult a packing list to remind yourself what else to bring. Your school probably sent you a list, and there are plenty online.

]]> 12078 7 82 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/467/82.jpg Pack light Pack as few heavy objects as possible. You will be carrying around everything you bring for the next four years.

]]> 12079 8 89 Tip Don’t bring more than a few books from home. You won’t have time to read them, and books are very heavy.

]]> 12080 9 95 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/467/95.jpg Load up & go Load up your stuff and get going! If you’re shipping boxes, call the admissions office to find out exactly where and when you will be able to pick them up.

]]> 12081 10 104 Fact In 2004, a homeless NYU sophomore spent 8 months living out of a “bookcase”—sleeping overnight in the basement of the campus library.
