How to use this checklist:
- Cross out the items you don’t need or want
- Add in the blank lines any items you need that are not in the list.
- For each item in the checklist circle P if you are going to PACK it; B if you are going to BUY it; Y F if you are going to FIND it when you get to campus
- As you pack, mark each item so nothing is forgotten

You can’t take everything you have and seriously, who would want to? Remember: clothes for class, clothes for study, clothes to relax, clothes for parties and clothes for … the occasional visit of PARENTS! Also, don’t forget those rooms, nothing worse than a place to go and NO ROOMS!
