The best way to start packing for college is to make a list of everything you’ll need.
The basic rule of thumb is to bring two to three weeks' worth of clothing essentials.
Dorm rooms usually come with basic furniture pieces like a bed, desk, and chair.

Some may even come with a mini fridge, microwave, and small closet.
Check with your college door to see what furnishings come with the room prior to packing.
