Moving Into Your College Dorm
August 5, 2014
If you’re a college student, there’s plenty to be nervous about. Don’t let moving into your dorm be one of them. If you’re going to school in Chicago this year, let our movers do the hard work for you. Take these tips on packing for your college move-in day. Make a comprehensive list for each of these categories, and your stress levels will go down before the big move.
Eating. Granted, you may be eating most of your meals elsewhere, but it’s never a bad idea to have some dishware and snacks nearby. Most dorms will allow a small refrigerator, so check with your school before you move in. A few plates, cups, and cutlery won’t hurt either. That way, when you and your roommate want to order a pizza late at night, you’ve got something to eat it with!
Compact Clothes Solutions. Whatever way you slice it, you’re just not going to have a massive walk-in closet in your dorm room. So getting creative with your closet space is a must. Search some options on the internet on sites like Pinterest for creative but functional ways to save space and store your clothes.
Work Space. No matter what the movies tell us, going to college is supposed to be about learning. Create a good space, even if it’s small, for reading and studying.
Communication. Cork boards or a dry-erase board can go a long way in communicating with your roommate and others. Talk with your roommate about how you want to communicate up front, and you’ll likely save yourself some grief down the road.
A gift for your roommate. Let’s face it, your roommate is someone you need to make a good first impression on. You’ll likely be with them for at least nine months. A small welcoming gift is a great way to show that you hope to be friendly.
