Going to an out of state school

So you’ve finally decided to attend college out of state. Congratulations! Did you get your acceptance letter? That’s your first step in attending an out of state college. If you haven’t gotten your acceptance letter, then you better pray you get it soon otherwise you can’t go out of state. Obviously. If you did get your acceptance letter, then you need to see how much financial aid you will receive. Once you discover the amount, then you have to calculate how much money you will spend on transporting your items to your new school. If it’s not too far from your hometown, then I’d suggest driving to the school and renting a U-Haul truck to carry your stuff. If you live far from the school, then you’d best fly out to the school and ship your stuff the your dorm. Once you realize how much money you are going to spend on transportation, it is time to buy all the items for your dorm. Your dorm is going to be your home for almost 8 months so you need to buy items to make it a functional living environment. The essentials every college student will need are bedspreads, towels, a desk, a laptop, a television, and basic dishware. Then you will need are your personal toiletries. Finally, you will need new clothes! If you are going to a state where the weather is different than what you’re used to, then you will need an all new wardrobe to ensure that you will be living comfortably. Going to an out of state school can be stressful but it can also be the most exciting period of you r life.
