DS is leaving for college in August. He's going off to Florida (we live in California)! We're going to use the Bed, Bath and Beyond program where you can select all of your items at home and pick them up at a store near your college. This will save us from having to take it all with us or risk having everything picked over when we get to Florida.
So the question is, what do kids do with their stuff when they come home next summer? Things like towels, sheets, mini fridge, laundry hamper, etc. He will be moving to a different dorm building for his sophomore year, so I doubt there would be anywhere on campus to leave it. We don't know anyone in the area who would store it for him (unless he makes some local friends who would keep it for him). Should he ship it home? Then we'd have to ship it all back. Stuff as much as he can in his luggage and junk the rest? I'm sure people have had this dilemma before. How does this work?
