Less is More: What Not to Bring to College

You did it! You’ve made your college decision. Now it’s time for you to pack up and make your way to campus. But be careful what you pack. It may seem like you need to bring everything from your third grade spelling trophy to your custom wall art, but think twice before you pack everything you own. Many college students end up bringing things they don’t ever need or use. Given the small size of most dorm rooms, less really is more. Here are a few things you don’t need to bring to college.

  

Prohibited Items

I know, this one may sound obvious, but in the excitement of planning your room with your new roommate(s), it’s easy to forget that things like candles are a fire hazard, and pets are usually only allowed in special circumstances. Be sure to review your college’s list of prohibited items before you start packing. Typically, prohibited items are sent home or confiscated, so you won’t get to use them either way. It’s safer (and lighter when packing), for you to leave all such items at home.

 

The Master of Tribal Resource and Environmental Stewardship (MTRES) curriculum examines the economics of tribal resource management, sustainability, and tribal sovereignty. In this program designed for tribes, by tribes, you’ll explore the interrelationship of biological, physical, and cultural ecosystems through the lens of traditional tribal ecological knowledge.

ON TOPIC

We asked some college students what they couldn’t live without on campus — and what they wish they left at home. Here’s what they had to say.

 

Of all the things I brought to college, I use noise cancelling headphones the most. They are perfect for cramming sessions — and for muting loud roommates – Emily, University of Pittsburgh

 

I highly recommend having a small supply of disposable plates and utensils on hand for those days you skip the dining hall and order food. Also, be sure to have a good surge protector and multiple chargers. – Ian, University of Michigan
