Preppy Girl Packing List

  3. Love this Blog! Definitely ended up going to by some of these things when I got to college because I didn't think of some of it.

    Also another note, is make sure that you check with your school if you are living in the dorms. I know that my dorms provided a microwave and mini fridge/freezer. Better to know before you get there.

    One more thing, check with your roommate on some of these things if you just have a one room dorm. You don't want to have to store two of everything (TV/ DVD player, stuff like that)

  4. Loove this! The bottom two duffle bags: did you make them? If so could you tell me how or send me a pattern? That would be amazing.
    Thanks,

  7. Don't forget: if you have to buy things, order them and send them to your dorm or apartment. Another amazing option that Bed Bath and Beyond offers is to have it sent the local BB&B where you are going to school and you can pick it up. Learned that it's easier when things are delivered to YOU in NYC.

    Hope that helps! Great job! Wish I had this when I was going to school!
