Move-in week is exciting… and a little chaotic. Whether you’re heading to a dorm, your first apartment, or campus housing, here’s what grads always forget — but seriously wish they hadn’t.

Let’s break it down so you’re stocked, smart, and ready to go:

---

?️ Dorm or Apartment Setup

You don’t need 12 pillows. You do need these:

• ✅ Extension cord + surge protector – Because outlets are never where you need them.
  
• ✅ Storage ottoman or bins – Hide your snacks, store your shoes, stay organized.
  

---

? Cleaning + Laundry

Spoiler alert: no one’s doing this for you.

---

? Easy Meals + Snacks

When the cafeteria is closed and you’re starving…

---

? Tech + Chargers

If your charger breaks and you don’t have a spare, it’s game over.

---

? Transportation + Emergencies

Even if you don’t have a car — emergencies still happen.

---

? GradFunded

It’s not too late to set up a GradFunded registry — even if you’re leaving this week.

Create it in 10 minutes, text your link to your favorite aunt or family group chat, and boom:
? Help with groceries, Amazon must-haves, dorm hacks, and “oh no, I forgot…” moments.
