It’s almost that time of year, College move in day. Where thousands of nervous and excited freshman pack their cars filled to the brim and move into their homes for the next eight months. It can be a very scary experience, but not to worry! Here are some tips and tricks that will make your big day less dramatic.
6. Clorox cleaning wipes
Chances are, you will be living in a space that has many previous occupants from past years. You will definitely need a package of these wipes just for the first day, wiping down dust and germs from previous students. This should be your first action as you enter the room; you can style your room after it’s clean.
5. Air freshener
Whether it is a wall plug in, clip on, or spray, you will definitely need it. You have no idea what your room has been through. Lurking smells are just waiting for you, so be prepared. Make your room smell like a tropical breeze, or even fresh linens. Anything that will eliminate the previous owner’s food smells.
4, Know the space before hand
If you don’t know what your room will look like, chances are you will buy items that won’t work, or bring too much stuff that will clutter your room. Look up dorm tours of your college on YouTube, find pictures online; anything to help you be prepared on all that you will need to bring.
