This is such a boujie list. I’ve been in college for 5 years, and unless you’re high maintenance, you’ll like maybe 20% of this. Definitely get an umbrella, desk lamp, and a toolbox though. College isn’t too scary. You’ll be alright young-ins

[cherylanderson]

Great tips, also:
1. strainer basket "collander" for quick small bits of laundry and to wash delicates that can't be machine washed (in the sink).
2. Air purifier or houseplant.
3. Small cooking apliance for convienance (if there is a community kitchen).

A note on allergy meds. Try to avoid Benadryl if you take it in the am. It will make you sleepy and might affect class performance. (You shouldn't take it to help you sleep unless you have an allergy preventing you from sleeping. The sleep they give you lacks REM sleep which is what makes you learn and feel refreshed)
Zyrtec is going to work the same, but wont make you sleepy so you can take it in the morning.

SCOTT YOU’RE MAKING COLLEGE SOUND SCARY

[pataoum]

Scott is every college student’s saviour. He’s honestly awesome

As a current college junior living in a dorm for the 3rd year 98% of this is accurate. I would recommend splitting some stuff up with your roomie tho (if you can, like yall only need one toolbox, but you both should get the bed shelf) so the bill doesn't add up

[Mr.Kai]

Thank you so much for making these. I’m going to college in a few months and honestly- I was super overwhelmed at first. Your videos have made me realize that I have so many other people in the same place, and that I’m not alone. I also actually feel prepared and excited, something that didn’t seem possible with all the stress of trying to navigate college. Thank you, I want you to know that these videos really do help(:

- Consider bringing a second power strip, and bringing that one with you to classes for the first week. If you end up in a classroom that hasn't been updated and has like four outlets for fifty people, you'll be guaranteed an outlet, and four or five extra people will be able to plug in their laptops. Even better if you can get one with twistable outlets, in case someone has one of those bulky chargers that block off an extra outlet.

- Large Ziploc bags - they make plastic bags you can connect to vacuums to vacuum-pack bulky stuff like out-of-season sweaters, but you can get more or less the same effect by putting them in a regular Ziploc, closing the zipper except for an inch or so, and then sitting on the bag before closing that last inch.

- Not so much an item to pack as something I've done more times than is reasonable: If you need a stapler and nobody has one, you can pry empty staples out of nearby bulletin boards and 'manually' staple your pages together. Looks a bit odd, but it's better than nothing.

Ok, deadass?
I really wanna thank you for this series, I watched all of them before my freshman year and you SAVED me.
The umbrella, the storage, EVERYTHING.
THANK YOU.🥰

I am 6 years away from college but I still watch these a lot-

[summerfairys]

This needs to be an add for college students

[eggsbenedict]

Hey y’all! I’m a college student and something I did for a makeshift nightstand is grab one of those sets of drawers from Target and put it on top of my desk, which is under my lofted bed. It gives me more storage and works perfectly!

[lucas_J_]

I swear Scott is the adds we actually want to watch

Also he's awesome keep it up 👍

[whisper_dvm]

I’m a childfree 40 yo, long since graduated college and never lived on campus anyway… watched the whole thing because your delivery is so funny

[Quacksey]

I’m not gonna be able to enter college until 3 more years, but honestly this is a LOT more helpful. My sister watched these too, and let me tell you, these tips were a life saver.

[tuesdaywithjisoo]

5:25 I did like a visitation to a local University (in the uk) every dorm had a kettle

[LadyArtemis]

Honestly, if i was gonna get a dorm in college, this video is a LIFE saver! Thanks for the tips!

“GETTING A KETTLE IS LUXURY!!!”

[Angel-whhg]
