What to Pack for your College Dorm and How to Move it!

Packing for College? Moving Dorm to Dorm?
Check out this list of things to bring and easy ways to get you there.

If you haven't visited your room check with the housing department and determine the exact dimensions of your room.  Also, before you pack double check with your school's dorm policies.  Find out which appliances are allowed and how much you'll be able to decorate your own room.  

You may want to contact your new roommates and find out what they'll be bringing. You may not need two mini fridges if there's only room for one!
