I’ve moved a couple kids to college now (and now I have another senior in high school…so I’m only a year away from a THIRD 😅). I’m by no means an expert..especially since all kids are different! But here is what my kids have needed (and used) the most:

1️⃣ Bedding. Boys don’t care what kind. A fitted sheet and a big quilt make them happy. They won’t wash it all year, but don’t worry. You can throw them away at the end. Don’t spend too much on them. Girls? They buy sheets, duvet, a throw blanket, and alll the pillows...

Is your college student ready to move from home (or a dorm or sorority house) into an apartment…on their own? It’s a crazy transition time, and we’re living it! We are getting ready to help our daughter move out at the end of the month. She has an apartment with some friends, and my son has done this…but I’m trying to help her remember all the things she’ll need!
