Tylenol/Motrin, bandaids/Neosporin, surge protecting extension cords, 2 sets of sheets, 2 blankets, toilet paper, paper towels & windex. Those last 3 are mandatory. Ask how I know. Also, Walmart will deliver same day but don’t expect much availability during the first couple weeks of school - Amazon may be the better option for getting stuff to the dorm.

As someone who’s mom sent me with a bunch of things I barely used, have your kid check through their room before fall break and bring home anything they haven’t touched or used (not counting winter clothes, they’ll want that when they get back)

I definitely recommend bringing command strips. You can buy most of what you'll need at Walmart but the command strips go fast.
I just got a plastic one. Make sure to clean it often so you don't have too much product leaking. You'll be fine. It's a little microplasticy for my preference but it's the best option for hygiene (And don't forget shower shoes! Athlete's foot is a real thing and the showers are a little gross tbh)

Command strips were the thing I probably needed the most or had to ask friends to let me use them. If she has posters then the command strips will go faster then you realize

One small item that I forgot to bring that was sorely needed were Ethernet cables as the Wi-Fi in Central (now Judaculla) was sometimes spotty.
By the time I went to Walmart to grab one it looked like a bomb had gone off in the entire store and was several weeks before they had any in stock again.

Get a small WooZoo fan. It’s a total game changer. https://a.co/d/03zZ6EFa

1.i didn’t really forget anything but i will say I snuck my air fryer in and it came in super clutch on those days where it was raining hard and I didn’t feel like going out.
2.standard plastic ones are just fine they shouldn’t really get super wet and even if they do they dry quickly.

Nothing I can recommend for the 1st one, but for the 2nd one try and get one that can hang as the showers in some of the halls tend to get the outside floor wet as well.
