Default Packing for University?
First time uni-goer here...and the countdown to school is closing in.

Just wondering what everybody packs to get ready for their uni-experience.

List whatever you usually bring, whether it be big or small. Wouldn't wanna get to uni and realise I forgot to bring something important.

depending on the university you're go to, usually the rez welcome package (at least at uw) has a checklist provided.. what to bring and what NOT to bring you might also find this on their rez website..

I agree, dorm life is all about meeting new people and making friends. Try to attend all the student related events and parties, as well as focusing on your studies of course.

Sorry - but how can someone be smart enough to go to university if they don't even know what to pack.

14 pairs of underwear. So that you can go two weeks without doing laundry.

Because University is about convincing you that you know something, not about knowing something.
