    I would say 100% bring a rug, they make the space so much more homey, but i agree that it should be tossed at the end of the year. Costco has some cheap rugs if you’re not looking to spend much, my 7x10 was $50.

    The image is much cleaner when the image stabilization function of the G7Xm III is minimized. Please give it a try if you like.

    What did you bring to deal with the Wisconsin winters? I'm going to college in a colder area, but I'm from Las Vegas and don't have experience with snow or real winters.

    Advice from someone that actually graduated from college:
    Bring ACTUAL dishes: 2 plates (one big, one small), 2 bowls, and REAL silverware. It's a lot cheaper to actually wash your dishes compared to destroying the environment by repurchasing/throwing away plastic utensils over and over again.
    You DO need a microwave and mini fridge. Also on the topic of food, get a dining plan for the first semester and then depending on how much you go there, DECREASE or get rid of it. You can make your own food for SOOOOO much cheaper by going to Aldi/Walmart. Additionally, buy plastic tupperware...
    You do NOT need a Brita, it will just take up extra space in your fridge that you could use for food instead.
    You do NOT need a macbook if you are not in a creative degree. You can have a cheap computer and be JUST fine. You also do NOT need an iPad to take notes. Pencil and paper work just as well or typing in any form (on your computer/iPad).
    You do NOT need a shower caddy if you live in a suite style dorm or shower shoes if they clean your bathroom every week.
    Get a hard clothes hamper. You do NOT want a bag, it will tear and just be annoying.
    Depending on the mattress, you do NOT need a mattress topper AT ALL. My mattress was perfectly fine without one.
    You do NOT need a printer. Most colleges give you a certain amount of printing money for FREE.
    Also condoning drinking alcohol when you're a minor on UA-cam which could easily be sent to your school? That's bold.

      hey!! thanks for your input! it’s always fun to see other perspectives of what people do and don’t think is necessary for college :) this was just my experience at my college and i totally understand that everyone has different experiences everywhere they go so def not saying this is the only way to do things 🙃. Also just trying to keep it real and be realistic. College comes with alcohol whether you chose to partake in it or not so just trying to be real but it is also not my intention to pressure anyone into anything 😁
