Dorm Stuff List
Decided on Northwestern.. I don't leave until September and I haven't even gotten housing forms, but I'd like to have this somewhere so I can access it later.
Also, I'd like comments and suggestions. I haven't done this whole "living in another place for more than a month" thing before and I'd like to know if there's anything you guys found useful that I left off or if there's something here that you brought and never used. Obviously, our situations might be different, but I'd like the help anyway! If you have any brand suggestions/complaints, those would be appreciated as well
