Storage space for school assignments, good battery life and compact are the features you want to focus on when looking for a laptop for college. If you can, skip on the desktop computer and large monitor to save space, as well as premium features such as a 4K display. But don\u2019t swing too much in the simplistic direction by opting for a tablet or iPad (or touchscreen laptop), as they won\u2019t have the programs needed for most college courses and assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A college campus should have everything you need within walking distance to live life as a normal functioning adult. A car just isn\u2019t practical. Add in expenses like insurance, gas, parking permits, possible parking tickets, maintenance and the car becomes more of a hassle than a convenience. If you are living off campus or require transportation for a job, then a car will obviously be a necessary. But if you want to bring your car, just to have a car, keep in mind most colleges discourage or even ban cars from on-campus living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, you\u2019ll be attending many different events in college, and sure, you\u2019ll want to put your best foot forward when making new friends, but try your best to not pack everything you own. You\u2019ll have laundry machines readily available and maybe even roommates to clothing swap with. And let\u2019s be real honest, you know you\u2019ll be mix and matching outfits with the same one pair of jeans or yoga pants for multiple occasions every week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re going to be living in a small space like a dorm or bedroom for the greater part of your college year, chances are your bed is also going to be where you eat, where you drink, where you spill things, where your friends hang around in their sneakers, etc. Skip the extra nice bedding you saw advertised on your Instagram feed and opt for the basics. And try not to pack extra bedding to avoid having to find a spot to store it. Again, laundry machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
