As a mom of 2 young adults, I have been through it all. My advice is don't overpack because you have to move out of your dorms after your first year and repeat the process the following year and so on: meaning you need to pack up everything again and moving is not fun! After deciding on who your roommate is going to be in the dorm room, decide what items are shareable such as small refrigerator, microwave, fan etc. and decide who is bringing what. Sometimes it is best to buy things after you have moved into the dorm to get a better sense of what you need. I have included some tips on the items you need.
I love plants and cannot enter a garden center or nursery without leaving with a plant. I am the reason Trader Joe's has plants by the front door...they know I'll have one (or two) in my basket by the time I make it to the cash register. It's an addiction really. I like plants: real, fake, on fabric, it does not matter.
