Things to bring to college that most handbooks don't tell you.
by Eowyn Coleman'09 and Jacob Raderer '09

  • Shower shoes ...well, why not?
  • Backpack - at some point in your college career you will have 3 classes in a row.
  • Quarters = clean clothes
  • Watch - being late does not win points with the professors.
  • 3M Hooks - you'd be surprised what you can hang on them.
  • Carpet - no explanation needed!
  • Desk light - undoubtedly, there will be at least one night you're up until 2:00 am
    typing a paper while your roommate is trying to sleep.
  • Swiffer wipes - one day you just might feel like cleaning.
  • Pictures of friends and family - so your new friends will know who all your stories
    are about and why you are the way you are.
  • Camera - you'll want to remember these moments.
  • Favorite movies - you will meet someone who hasn't seen it.
  • Flash Drive - there is a chance you will want to back up your files
    so you won't have to rewrite a paper.
  • Ice Scraper - Kentucky weather is unpredictable.
