Are you heading back to college for another year, or just starting out your university journey? Well, first of all CONGRATS - you did it! And secondly, let's talk packing list. College is a unique experience, one like no other, where you are leaping out into the world, and for most people it will be their first time living away from home. Not only can this be a daunting emotional experience (but totally worth it!), you WILL NOT believe the sheer volume of STUFF you have to bring with you when you move. But never fear, we have devised a great list of all the college must-haves to take a little bit of stress off your shoulders for this exciting journey!
.
We've broken the list down into a couple of categories, (this by no means is a complete list, but a very good start for anyone flying the nest!) to help you get all those essentials packed up!
