Who this college packing list is for
This college packing list is for students getting ready for dorm move-in, campus housing, or a first apartment near school. It separates college items into bedding, study supplies, room essentials, and personal items.

Students can use the list while packing, shopping, and checking what is already owned. It is especially useful when coordinating with roommates or deciding what should stay home.
Tips for printing and reusing it
Print a copy for packing day and keep one in your phone as a PDF backup. After move-in, mark items that were actually useful so next semester or next year is easier to pack for.
