Going to live off campus? Here are a few things you may need. No, it’s not just “whatever I have in my room at home or in the dormitory”. There are a few more things you may need. This does not cover everything, but it is a start. You may not need everything on this list and there are most definitely a few things missing. However it should get you going. Also, remember that you may be living with some roommates, so not everything on this list is necessary your responsibility. Also, if you are renting a furnished apartment or house, this list gets much shorter. In that case just check off what is already there.
