Dorm rooms are small, and while it is nice to have everything you need, if you take too much the room just becomes unmanageable! <br />My tip for care packages - what college kids seem to love most is food and money! I actually began to draft a post about sending care packages, and I will probably publish it sometime this fall. :)Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/15294204009310379754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-18743501442087273902015-08-23T14:49:52.716-06:002015-08-23T14:49:52.716-06:00These are all great tips!

I'm sure this will help lots of kids who are probably over packed with things that just won't fit in the room. What about tips for what to send in care packages like Aunts or Grandparents.

Like we were sure to buy the drinks for his fridge so he didn't have to try to drag a 24 pack of water bottles onto a bus after we left.<br />Also, because he'd be 700 miles away and didn't know anyone at the school, I baked 9 dozen cookies and lined his window sill. He made friends really quickly once word got out.Karen @BakingInATornadohttp://www.bakinginatornado.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-7998227131924241922015-08-18T12:34:55.361-06:002015-08-18T12:34:55.361-06:00Brilliant tips, Susan!
