When the day has finally come to move in to the dorms at college, I will tell you this right now: you will forget something. I lived my first two days of college without light, because my roommate and I forgot to bring light bulbs along with our lamps. We weren't the only ones either believe it or not.
The list for a college dorm room can certainly add up, which means the bill can too. However, there are many things to save on and buy generic that work just as well as its expensive competitors.
As students across New Jersey and the rest of the nation plan to head back to school over the next month, spending on items to mark the occasion is expected to be substantially lower.
