Tips on Using the Dorm Room Checklist
- Know what comes standard in your dorm room. Many dorms have different standard amenities. If you know what is included and what is not, then you will be better able to pack for your move.
- Figure out what is a “need” and what is a “want.” Dorm rooms are small and don’t have the extra room for those extra items you may want to take with you.
- Keep your checklist in an easy to find spot, and be sure not to accidentally pack it.
- Have the checklist with you while you are unpacking. This way you can be sure that you have all your items and boxes and didn’t forget anything.
