That said, there are tons of places on every campus to print, so you can definitely survive college without your own printer.

134. Printer Ink

If you’re bringing a printer, definitely get a lot of extra printer ink. You don’t want to run out halfway through printing an important paper!

135. Printer Paper

Same goes for printer paper. Stock up so you don’t run out at a crucial moment!

Handy Items for College

These are all great to have — and easy to forget! Get these basics and you’ll be thanking yourself.

136. Screwdriver

For putting together furniture or fixing a wobbly chair. Get a reversible screwdriver so you can use it on Phillips or flathead screws.

137. Lightbulbs

Make sure you get LED bulbs for your lamps; they last 10+ years so you’ll never have to change them!

138. Command Strips

For when you want to move a hook around or just want to hang something new on your wall, it pays to have extra Command strips on hand.

139. Wall Putty or Tape

This depends on what your school allows, so find out ahead of time. Wall putty is generally a safe bet for hanging pictures, as it doesn’t damage or mark walls.

140. Pushpins or Tacks

If you’re bringing a cork board to college, these are a must-have. They can also be used to hang items, depending on what your school allows.

First Aid/Medicine to Bring to College

Not the most fun to shop for, but so important to have on hand! Here are the basic medicinal items that should be on every college packing list.

141. First Aid Kit

If you only buy one thing from this section, this dorm first aid kit should be it.

It has just about everything you could possibly need, from first aid items to allergy medicine and hangover relief, with easy to understand instructions. SO helpful and a true must-have!

142. Band-Aids

The first aid kit I linked already has band-aids, but if you are clumsy like me, it doesn’t hurt to have an extra box of clear band-aids on your college packing list.
