    Crazy that I watched this (and all your other college videos) sophomore year of high school. Fast forward now to 2016 and I'm getting ready move in two months. So bittersweet 💚

    If your college is in the Midwest bring clothes or ALL SEASONS. I can not stress it enough. The weather changes like crazy. It can be 95 and sunny one day and the next 75 and storming and the next week it's in the 30s everyday.

      OMG yes! I'm planning on going to college in North Carolina and I was visiting the campus for a week and one day I would be in shorts and I tank top, but the next day it was raining and sort if chilly and I would have killed for some jeans

    • @shaunasugar
      @shaunasugar 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You should actually be saving money now if you plan on going to college right after high school. College tuition in America these days is pretty high not including all the other costs of attending college (like food, personal items, etc.). I would recommend you ask your parents if they can start a college savings account for you! That way you avoid debt and stress once it's time for you to actually go to college! :)

  • @jessejames6688
    @jessejames6688 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree! I think it works best if each person buys different stuff for the room for both to use (one person brings fridge, another brings microwave; one person brings lamp, another brings bean bag, etc). That way it is clear who keeps what but you each contribute.

    I actually went to visit the college I'm going to, Sam Houston State University, two days ago. And let me just say, that visit really turned on my college spirit and for these past few days, I haven't thought about anything except for how my life in college would be like. I'm a high school senior, and in one week, I will start the last semester of high school and I am excited to be graduating soon. This video was nice and I look forward to my freshman year in college! :D

    Also I think it is AWESOME that you are doing this! I really wish I had someone like you who had videos up about college when I started it because I was so nervous and worried about it that I was honestly fully packed like a month before classes started!

  • @amylynn524
    @amylynn524 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Most people want to keep their mini fridges all throughout college. They are not cheap but they are great for apartment living too! A lot of schools have affiliate companies that rent fridges to students in the dorms. I would recommend talking to your roommate BEFORE you move in together to see what the other person is bringing. This also makes it very clear in the end who owns what and what inexpensive items you can buy together.

    @SchoolAccount1129 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you can't find a twin XL duvet cover you love I totally recommend buying a king/queen and sewing it to fit your bed. It's the easiest sewing project ever and if you buy a king you usually have enough left over fabric for a pillow case or two :)

    I have a really good tip for bringing clothes! It's much easier if you pack everything on hangers and just put a plastic clothes protector over top! This only works if you're driving but it's way easy because your stuff is already hung up.

  • @sequind

    If you put a soda tab over the hanging part of the felt, skinny hangers, you can layer hangers while only taking up the space for one hanger, but you can layer about three or four

    Wow great quality in this! In your last two videos I wasn't quite convinced, but this one looks really great! :)
