Misc Tips from Experienced Parents:
Rolls of quarters for washing machines. More than a few parents said rolls of quarters were one way of helping do their children's wash without physically being there.
The cure-all: duct tape. It's not a joke. Students need it to tape down all those wayward cords, fix broken items and hang things.
Batteries. All sizes, and don't forget chargers. Most students forget that camera and calculator batteries die with lots of use, and there's not a go-to drawer filled with batteries like there is at home.
Flip-flops for those community showers. They forget too that college dorms can be welcoming venues for germs.
Flatware. At least one fork, knife and spoon are necessary - and often more if students tend to lose them. A box of plastic utensils is one suggestion. How about a plastic bowl and plate & roll of paper towels.
Lighting such as flashlights and lamps. Lighting in dorm rooms is notoriously poor.
Over-the-door storage units for shoes or extra hanging clothes or under-the-bed boxes. Dorm rooms are small. Need we say more?
