Top 10 Things Students Need at College This Fall If you''re wondering what things you need at college this fall, here are our top 10 suggestions...enjoy! 10. Computer and printer...no matter who offers to "share" with you, when it''s midnight and the paper or research is due tomorrow, you will want access to your own computer. The campus computer lab is no fun at 2:00 a.m. (if it''s even open!). 9. A comfort object for homesick days...this will vary depending on gender, but may include pictures, photo albums, stuffed animals, favorite CDs, books, and pillows. 8. Music...a CD player and your favorite CD''s. And maybe even a headset in case your roomie doesn''t like heavy metal at 5 a.m.!? 7. A mini-fridge...yes, you will use it no matter how many meal plans you have. Where else will you put the leftover pizza and chocolate milk? 6. Jeans...even if you heard that college students "dress up," don''t believe it. Jeans and a ball cap are the uniform du jour. 5. A checking account and ATM card to access it. Don''t -- repeat, don''t -- keep cash in your dorm room or apartment. 4. Stuff. That''s right, stuff. You will want stuff to make your new abode, be it dorm room or apartment, seem like it belongs to you. A great bedspread and matching sheets, a rug by your bed, your favorite pj''s, a bookshelf, photographs, etc. See # 9. 3. Not too much stuff. A dorm or apartment room can be very small so don''t clutter it up. Take just what you need. See #4. 2. A long distance phone card. It can save you money and let you call home from another phone if your roommate has yours tied up. 1. Your online membership to ScholarshipExperts.com...the searching doesn''t stop when school begins! Your educational process has just begun...make sure you are proactive about finding ways to pay for it!
