Ms.Boom

Im starting boarding school for the first time, I have no idea what i'll need. Could you please give your time to write down a list for me of all the things I will need for Boarding School? I know I'll need bedding sheets, laundry bag, but what else?

Answer
Dorm stuff -- a cushy swivel chair, bookcase and refrigerator
Look in places like PBTeens for dorm stuff. Under the bed storage is good, a full-length mirror, shower tote, bath slippers, over the door hook for things like towels, etc. Anything to make your bed softer like a tempurpedic cover.
Check with your dorm master first because your dorm may come with a bookshelf or not allow a refrigerator.
Swifters are popular as are small hand held vacs.
Microwave popcorn, Pop Tarts, flavored water- bought by the case at a Big Box store...
alot of clean underwear

polo shirts/khaki shorts, pants....other preppy clothes in your closet

headphones/stereo/mp3 player

running shoes...even if you dont think youre going to do any sports

photos of your friends/family

read The official preppy handbook by Lisa Birnbach (1980)

pens/pencils/stationary supplies

camera

bike and a lock

cellphone
Febreeze
plastic storage drawers
trash can (my dorm doesn't provide them)
lots of hangers
a seat cushion and extra pillows
paper clips and thumb tacks
chargers for ipod, cellphone, camera battery, etc.
and several refill cartridges for that printer! They always seem to run dry when you are in a hurry to print a paper.
a fan for the start of the school year
a printer

So basically...
