4. Flip Flops – These will save your feet in the shared shower. You wouldn’t want to get the itches from athletes foot now would you?

5. Mini Fridge – This will come in handy for some go to freezer or fridge meals when the cafeteria is closed!

6. Laptop – All important for writing those term papers or just surfing the web.

7. Teddy Bear – Never leave home without your trusty friend! Always a comfort of home.

8. Headphones – In case you need noise to distract you from your roommate or a little just some mood music.

9. Books – I love to read. It’s what gets me through the day a lot.
