Or optionally you could buy a box of detergent from any big box store and put it into a container of some kind to take with you to the laundromat whenever you do laundry!
Oh wow, I made a list and it's only like $100 excluding clothes, laptop and fridge. I opted for more expensive stuff since I'm eco-friendly-ish. I can get the rest by mail while I'm set and comfy and my folks give me their old stuff like containers
Try physically visiting your college first/ contacting admissions so they can help you get in touch with another student who can video chat with you and show you the ins and outs of the dorm. Really helped for me, it knocked like $40 worth of stuff off my list like bed risers, mattress topper, plastic drawers, desk chair, I was also able to see how much wall and closet space I had.
Mom of four girls plus a foster daughter here. Sorry to tell you but you’re not done. Don’t forget; toiletries. (All those creams, shampoos, hair products, make up, facial products, fem products etc. if you use it, you need extra to take with you. You will be living there for months before you can come home. Second: groceries. Even if you’ve got a meal plan, you’re going to want snacks, coffees, teas, cokes, water etc. in addition to ramen, easy Mac and anything fast that can be made in the microwave. The dining halls are not twenty four hours a day. You will need some form of your own food, and snacks.
@@simplyboppingK I agree. Whatever you need to prepare to be comfortable, that’s what you should do. You’re going to be living there for the entire school year, you should try to be as comfortable as is possible.
im a senior in hs right now so college is on my mind and i love dorm videos and this one is different because you seem real and actually helpful so thank you!!!
Hii Im going to college in 2 weeks and this video definitely helped me find a few last minute supplies, I’m a new subscriber but i already love your content and energy ✨
Im also gonna be a Freshman in college!!! I have yet to buy any school stuff and I move in Aug 15😭. Shopping keeps getting postponed because of other things needing to get paid soo. I just bought my first thing which was a mattress topper
Tysm for this video! I will also be a freshman in college this fall. Im very excited to start classes and decorate my dorm but a little nervous at the same time, so thank you for putting my mind at ease! Will you be doing a move in day vlog?❤
Love this. Just a side note for the drying rack make sure you air out your room fully ( if you have windows) so that mold doesn’t grow on the walls ! ❤❤
I have been stressing non stop since the moment I found out I am leaving home for college lol so this haul was so helpful in finding out what I still need😁❤️ I am moving in a week and a half and I have some things but I still feel like I'm missing some stuff if you what I mean??😄
As someone who just graduated college, I can’t stress enough: get something to strap your mattress topper to your mattress. I used duct tape, you can buy something for it too. One of the most annoying things for me as someone who moves a lot in their sleep was my mattress topper CONSTANTLY falling off or warping after just a week of using it. Just having your sheets around it isn’t enough. I bought a cheap topper my freshman year and a really nice expensive one my sophomore year and they both did it. No mattress topper is immune
Strapping it across the mattress multiple times makes it uncomfortable sleeping, so I duct taped it on all four corners and along all four sides so it stayed but it still was comfortable
this was really helpful!! im moving into a dorm this august too and i've been watching so many packing/haul videos to try to figure out what i need. can't wait to see the rest of your college videos
@@HannahMcInroy right?? everyone has a different list so i've been trying to find the overlap while also not going too overboard since dorms are tiny 😭
great video, what size are y0ur stacking bins from temu? would love those and whats the brand name of that cool fan! so mucbh i still need to get so this helpsl
I like that all of these items are things that you will ACTUALLY use. BUT I will say, you do not need a brita. It won't fit in your fridge and you'll have less room for food. Also, you do NOT need a mattress topper at all.

I have the money and still don't feel the need to buy things too quickly. I've only spent around $150 and I'm ok, just take your time and breathe, half of the stuff is decor and storage bins wich are some of the easiest to buy aside from electronics.

I'm only a sophomore in highschool and I'm so intrigued by these videos as if I'm going to college this year 😭
glad u watched! I binged dorm hauls all of high school
Facts I'm a junior in hs😂😂
That’s how I was now I’m a senior in highschool 😢
Pro tip get the tiny bottles of detergent from the dollar tree to carry around but the large ones to save money and just refill in the dorm
Or optionally you could buy a box of detergent from any big box store and put it into a container of some kind to take with you to the laundromat whenever you do laundry!
I was stressing about everything I need to get in the next few weeks but this was so helpful! Thanks girl
Ofc, Ty for watching !

Also don’t forget; school supplies, desk supplies, a laptop, possibly a printer and paper, cleaning supplies.
Thank you
I would actually recommend healthier food for snacks because you can find ways to get healthy food for cheap and it's so much better for you.
@@fourlittlebirds6166 you definitely DON'T need a printer.

I'm going to college in less than a month. Heading halfway accross the world. I'm excited for the new experiences and culture but I'm scared to leave
That sounds like you’re going to have an amazing time!
Love this. Just a side note for the drying rack make sure you air out your room fully ( if you have windows) so that mold doesn’t grow on the walls ! ❤❤

I’ve heard about this! I bought mattress suspenders on Amazon so hopefully that keeps them in place
Buy it big asl and tuck it!✅
love this! so helpful
thank you so much for this video! I’m going to start 9th grade this month but I’m going to a boarding school, so the process is a bit overwhelming
I’m sure you’ll have so much fun!
this was really helpful!! im moving into a dorm this august too and i've been watching so many packing/haul videos to try to figure out what i need. can't wait to see the rest of your college videos
Literally lol it was so hard to figure out what I needed and what I didn’t
@@HannahMcInroy right?? everyone has a different list so i've been trying to find the overlap while also not going too overboard since dorms are tiny 😭
You got this don't never give up😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
locking trash cans are nice because if you bump into it it doesn’t open. or in my case at home my kitchen one so my dogs don’t get into the trash

lol the mattresses at my school are literally like the pads that go in a diaper changing thingy 💀. I will def need a mattress topper.
@@ayrianaagard3771 I never had an issue with mine tbh they're not worth the money
I think it depends, but I know that mattress toppers are an absolute necessity for most dorm beds ❤
it depends on the micro fridge… some have a door that it’ll fit on
Hey! Im moving into college soon as well, and I LOVED ur fan! please link it!!
