College Packing List and Moving Guide from Student Moving Expert

We have created the definitive (well, just about) go-to guide all students should consider checking out before move-in day.

Below you will find everything from packing guidelines, to college checklist advice, to what procedures you should be aware of on your campus.

Ready to Pack?! Know the Facts.
Most every school has their on-campus housing policies online and in their student handbook.

It's important to check this out because some schools have different policies on appliances you can bring, how you can decorate your room, and many other rules and regulations specific to your first year on campus.
It also lets you know what appliances and furniture are already provided in your room so you can better prepare for packing.

It lets you know who your resident assistants (RA's) are so you can reach out to them with housing or roommate questions.

Know Your Neighbor
Make sure to use Facebook to search out your soon to be campus friends and roommates and find out who is living in your residence hall. Also, see if you know anyone from growing up that lives around campus and might be fun to catch up with when you arrive. Meeting and hanging out with new people on the first day is the best way to get adjusted right away and begin the school year right.

It also couldn't hurt to call your roommate(s), introduce yourself, and get to know each other a bit so it won't be as awkward on the first day.
When speaking with your roommate(s) plan out who is going to bring the TV, DVD player, Xbox, Wii, mini-fridge, microwave, food and drinks, etc.
Make sure to decide who's taking which bed so there aren't any surprises when you get to campus. Nothing worse then starting the school year off with an angry roommate.

One Last Pre-Packing Advice Tip
Getting ready to pack brings you that much closer to living on your own, but hold up first. Here are some things you should figure out with your parents before you seal the boxes and bags:

Health insurance. Most schools require that you have medical insurance. Before you arrive on campus, make sure you're covered under your parents' policy (verify out-of-state coverage if you're moving out of state to go to school), or else see if you can purchase insurance through your school.

It is very important to be covered, as you will most likely get sick in the first few months of school as the fall season changes. Make copies of your insurance cards, have your home physician's info in your phone or laptop, and find a physician in the city where you're moving to.

Renters insurance. If you live on or off campus someone can still break into your room or a water or gas pipe can burst. Your school is most likely not liable. Look into a renter insurance policy, which can be as little as $10 a month for several thousand dollars worth of coverage.

Cell phone. If school has taken you out of state, make sure your calling plan doesn't get you with long-distance or roaming charges. If it does, either switch to a plan with unlimited roaming and long-distance, or find a different provider. If you stay in touch by text and e-mail a lot from your phone, consider getting a plan with unlimited texting and Internet, if your current plan doesn't already have this.

Money. Oh yeah, you are going to need this to survive. If your bank is a national chain, find a branch and at least three ATMs close to campus so you can get the cash you need right away, without having to pay crazy ATM fees (they add up). If your home bank is only local, consider getting a different bank close to campus that you can keep at least a checking account at while you're in school.

Valuables. Label all your electronics and other valuables with your name and hometown (avoid including personal info like your driver's license number, home address, or Social Security number that identity thieves could use). You can use a permanent marker, an engraver, or find tamper-resistant asset tags online. Store a record of all your tagged items, along with a picture, in a safe place, for insurance purposes, in case anything gets stolen.

What to Leave in the Nest
Candles and incense. Many schools don't allow these amazing olfactory eliminators since they're considered fire hazards. Consider bringing other forms of scent enhancers that do not require fire.

Halogen lamps. Halogens can sometimes be as dangerous as open candle flames. They emit high-level heat that, when left unattended around curtains or flammable objects, can ignite and do major damage.

Illegal stuff. Take a wild guess what we might mean here:
Drugs, alcohol, gun, knives, ninja throwing stars, and any other weapon meant to bring about injury, death, or destruction. Sounds pretty dark, but we want you and your fellow campus residents to be safe and away from potential legal trouble.

Packing Time! Situation #1
If you've never moved onto campus before, get ready for a comical and chaotic scene. Typically there are anywhere from 800 to 6,000 freshman and their families moving to school all on one day and all at once!

Some bring trucks, vans, caravans, and trailers. Some pack the little car to the brim, others pack the SUV to the limit and the roof.

Next they have to find a parking spot and slowly unpack the moving vehicle and walk across to the campus residence hall. There you sign paperwork out, get your keys, and possibly get a hand from a football player, welcome back crew member, or residential life staff member.

2 to 3 awkward hours later, you've climbed your last crowded hallway, staircase, elevator. You've moved your last muscle on that box or bag. And you still have not totally unpacked.

Another 2 hours go by. Finally, you've hung the last hanger, folded the last shirt, and organized the last desk item. Now what? Off to have fun!? Not yet.
The next phase is the trip to the campus bookstore and/or the off campus target or Wal-Mart, bed, bath, and beyond. And good thing for you and your family you are not the only ones with this idea. You spend another 1 to 2 hours getting all your books, last minute items you forgot about, and you then go back to campus, struggle to find a parking spot, and make one last trip from the vehicle to your room.

Now it is time to either have one last meal with the family or part ways and begin your new journey at college.

Here is a last minute reminder: make sure you're fully packed the night before you leave. Double-check again in the morning to make sure you have everything. Add any last minute items that you forgot. Once you leave the nest, you want to make sure you take enough resources to survive on your own.

Packing Time! Situation # 2
We would like the student or parent reading our definitive go-to college packing list and moving guide to consider another way to start the school year off.

Instead of packing the car to the brim or renting a van, U-Haul or trailer, why not send a student's belongings to their residence room ahead of time.
Ship2School is just one of several student moving services that will move students into any school on and before move-in day.

A student moving service will often send a fully supplied, free box kit to a student's home. In the box kit there are usually items such as bubble wrap, tape with dispensers, a magic marker, and 5 to 10 extra strength double wall boxes.

A student packs up their belongings and schedules a pick up with the student moving service and the next time they see their belongings they are waiting for them on campus ahead of time or delivered right to their dorm room on move in day with the upgraded in room delivery feature.

If a school has an agreement with the student moving service, a student's belongings will be waiting in their room ahead of time at no extra charge!
When weighing the emotional and financial costs of moving to college yourself or hiring someone else to do it, remember that it is not as easy as one might think.

For example, if a family has to rent a van, trailer, or U-Haul for a cross-country trip, that alone could be the same cost as using a move-in service. Even if they ride in their own car, the gas and hotels alone could equal the service. The same goes for the same family that decides to take a plane and check the student's 5-6 bags or luggage (100 to 400 dollars).

Another example is a parent(s) that takes a day off work to move their child in, and decides to then stay the night in a hotel after the exhaustive all day move. That alone would equal the cost of sending their child's belongings ahead of time.

One last example is a family that actually finds a cost effective way to move their child into college on move-in day. Hats off to them! They humped, schlepped, lugged each box, bag, and item from the car and into the room and did it with no help and no rental cars. And right after the move-in the parents are hitting the road and going back home. The mental, physical, and emotional energy that just happened on that last day of the family being together and the first day of the student's new life can't be good as a remembrance of a monumental day.

The point we are making is that moving to college is something we all have to do if we want to go to college. However, it can be done a variety of ways. We hope this go-to college moving guide helps you make a decision on what to pack, what to leave behind, and how to get prepared for school ahead of time, and how to make the best use of move-in day, whether you move yourself or have a student shipping service such as Ship2School move you to college.

Bonus: Top 10 Suggestions for "Move-In" Day:
1. Measure your room layout ahead of time. We always find a good deal of disappointed students who can't fit their couch into their room.
2. Hang a dry erase board on the exterior of your door so that friends can leave you messages when you are not around.
3. Call your roommate prior to Move-In Day so that you can introduce yourselves and decide who is bringing the TV, DVD player, stereo, Xbox, PlayStation, Wii, food and drinks, fridge, etc.
4. Bring posters. Add your "32 Pieces" of flair to your walls.
5. Bring flip-flops or shower shoes for trips to the bathroom. You never know.
6. Don't use nails or screws when hanging up items. You'll pay dearly for these marks on move-out day.
7. Ask your parents to send care-packages and gift baskets to you. There's nothing like a treat from home in the middle of the semester to boost your mid-term jitters.
8. Bring food, drinks, and snacks. You might not leave the campus ranch and make it to the grocery store right away. Stock up in advance.
9. Bring a hand-truck with wheels especially if you live on the 2nd or 3rd floor. This will greatly ease your move-in process. Of course if you use a student shipping service, you can avoid this step all together.
10. Enjoy the first day, and get to know your hall-mates. You'll spend a lot of time in your dorm and residence hall. Be social and start the year right!

Remember; EVERYONE is THROWN in this for the first time. Don't be shy. Say hi to everyone on the first day. It's gonna be a fun ride!

Visual arts of the United States

Eighteenth century

After the Declaration of Independence in 1776, which marked the official beginning of the American national identity, the new nation needed a history, and part of that history would be expressed visually. Most of early American art (from the late 18th century through the early 19th century) consists of history painting and portraits. Painters such as Gilbert Stuart made portraits of the newly elected government officials, while John Singleton Copley was painting emblematic portraits for the increasingly prosperous merchant class, and painters such as John Trumbull were making large battle scenes of the Revolutionary War.

Nineteenth century

Main articles: Hudson River School, Luminism (American art style), and American Impressionism

James McNeill Whistler, Arrangement in Grey and Black: The Artist's Mother (1871) popularly known as Whistler's Mother, Muse d'Orsay, Paris

America's first well-known school of paintinghe Hudson River Schoolppeared in 1820. As with music and literature, this development was delayed until artists perceived that the New World offered subjects unique to itself; in this case the westward expansion of settlement brought the transcendent beauty of frontier landscapes to painters' attention.

The Hudson River painters' directness and simplicity of vision influenced such later artists as Winslow Homer (1836-1910), who depicted rural Americahe sea, the mountains, and the people who lived near them. Middle-class city life found its painter in Thomas Eakins (1844-1916), an uncompromising realist whose unflinching honesty undercut the genteel preference for romantic sentimentalism. Henry Ossawa Tanner who studied with Thomas Eakins was one of the first important African American painters.

Paintings of the Great West, particularly the act of conveying the sheer size of the land and the cultures of the native people living on it, were starting to emerge as well. Artists such as George Catlin broke from traditional styles of showing land, most often done to show how much a subject owned, to show the West and its people as honestly as possible.

Many painters who are considered American spent some time in Europe and met other European artists in Paris and London, such as Mary Cassatt and Whistler.

Twentieth Century

Main articles: American realism and American modernism

Mary Cassatt, The Bath 1891-1892, Art Institute of Chicago, while painted in Europe, Cassatt is considered an American painter

Controversy soon became a way of life for American artists. In fact, much of American painting and sculpture since 1900 has been a series of revolts against tradition. "To hell with the artistic values," announced Robert Henri (1865-1929). He was the leader of what critics called the Ashcan school of painting, after the group's portrayals of the squalid aspects of city life. American realism became the new direction for American visual artists at the turn of the century. In photography the Photo-Secession movement led by Alfred Steiglitz made pathways for photography as an emerging art form. Soon the Ashcan school artists gave way to modernists arriving from Europehe cubists and abstract painters promoted by the photographer Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) at his 291 Gallery in New York City. John Marin, Marsden Hartley, Alfred Henry Maurer, Arthur Dove, Henrietta Shore, Stuart Davis, Stanton MacDonald-Wright, Morgan Russell, Patrick Henry Bruce, and Gerald Murphy were some important early American modernist painters.

After World War I many American artists also rejected the modern trends emanating from the Armory Show and European influences such as those from the School of Paris. Instead they chose to adopt academic realism in depicting American urban and rural scenes. Charles Sheeler, and Charles Demuth were referred to as Precisionists and the artists from the Ashcan school or American realism: notably George Bellows, Everett Shinn, George Benjamin Luks, William Glackens, and John Sloan and others developed socially conscious imagery in their works.

The American Southwest

Georgia O'Keeffe, Ram's Head White Hollyhock and Little Hills, 1935, the Brooklyn Museum

Following the first World War, the completion of the Santa Fe Railroad enabled American settlers to travel across the west, as far as the California coast. New artists colonies started growing up around Santa Fe and Taos, the artists primary subject matter being the native people and landscapes of the Southwest. Images of the Southwest became a popular form of advertising, used most significantly by the Santa Fe Railroad to entice settlers to come west and enjoy the nsullied landscapes. Walter Ufer, Bert Greer Phillips, E. Irving Couse, William Henry Jackson, and Georgia O'Keeffe are some of the more prolific artists of the Southwest.

Harlem Renaissance

The Harlem Renaissance was another significant development in American art. In the 1920s and 30s a new generation of educated and politically astute African-American men and women emerged who sponsored literary societies and art and industrial exhibitions to combat racist stereotypes. The movement showcases the range of talents within African-American communities. Though the movement included artists from across America, it was centered in Harlem, and work from Harlem graphic artist Aaron Douglas and photographer James VanDerZee became emblematic of the movement. Some of the artists include Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, Charles Alston, Augusta Savage, Archibald Motley, Lois Mailou Jones, Palmer Hayden and Sargent Johnson.

New Deal Art

Thomas Hart Benton, People of Chilmark (Figure Composition), 1920, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC.

When the Great Depression hit, president Roosevelt New Deal created several public arts programs. The purpose of the programs was to give work to artists and decorate public buildings, usually with a national theme. The first of these projects, the Public Works of Art Project (PWAP), was created after successful lobbying by the unemployed artists of the Artists' Union. The PWAP lasted less than one year, and produced nearly 15,000 works of art. It was followed by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (FAP/WPA) in 1935, which funded some of the most well-known American artists. Several separate and related movements began and developed during the Great Depression including American scene painting, Regionalism, and Social Realism. Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry, Grant Wood, Ben Shahn, Joseph Stella, Reginald Marsh, Isaac Soyer, Raphael Soyer, and Jack Levine were some of the best known artists.

Abstract Expressionism

Main articles: Abstract expressionism, Action Painting, Color Field, and Lyrical Abstraction

Franz Kline, Painting Number 2, 1954, The Museum of Modern Art

In the years after World War II, a group of New York artists formed the first American movement to exert major influence internationally: abstract expressionism. This term, which had first been used in 1919 in Berlin, was used again in 1946 by Robert Coates in The New York Times, and was taken up by the two major art critics of that time, Harold Rosenberg and Clement Greenberg. It has always been criticized as too large and paradoxical, yet the common definition implies the use of abstract art to express feelings, emotions, what is within the artist, and not what stands without.

The first generation of abstract expressionists was composed of artists such as Jackson Pollock, Willem De Kooning, Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, Arshile Gorky, Robert Motherwell, Clyfford Still, Barnett Newman, Adolph Gottlieb, Phillip Guston, Ad Reinhardt, Hans Hofmann, James Brooks, Richard Pousette-Dart, William Baziotes, Mark Tobey, Bradley Walker Tomlin, Theodoros Stamos, Jack Tworkov and others. Though the numerous artists encompassed by this label had widely different styles, contemporary critics found several common points between them.

Many first generation abstract expressionists were influenced both by the Cubists' works (black & white copies in art reviews and the works themselves at the 291 Gallery or the Armory Show), and by the European Surrealists, most of them abandoned formal composition and representation of real objects; and by Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. Often the abstract expressionists decided to try instinctual, intuitive, spontaneous arrangements of space, line, shape and color. Abstract Expressionism can be characterized by two major elements - the large size of the canvases used, (partially inspired by Mexican frescoes and the works they made for the WPA in the 1930s), and the strong and unusual use of brushstrokes and experimental paint application with a new understanding of process.

The emphasis and intensification of color and large open expanses of surface were two of the principles applied to the movement called Color field Painting. Ad Reinhardt, Adolph Gottlieb, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still and Barnett Newman were categorized as such. Another movement was called Action Painting, characterized by spontaneous reaction, powerful brushstrokes, dripped and splashed paint and the strong physical movements used in the production of a painting. Jackson Pollock is an example of an Action Painter: his creative process, incorporating thrown and dripped paint from a stick or poured directly from the can; he revolutionized painting methods. Willem de Kooning famously said about Pollock "he broke the ice for the rest of us." Ironically Pollock's large repetitious expanses of linear fields are also characteristic of Color Field painting as well, and art critic Michael Fried pointed that out in his essay for the catalog of Three American painters: Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, Frank Stella at the Fogg Art Museum in 1965. Despite the disagreements between art critics, Abstract Expressionism marks a turning-point in the history of American art: the 1940s and 1950s saw international attention shift from European -Parisian- art, to American -New York- art.

Color field painting went on as a movement: artists in the 1950s, such as Clyfford Still, Barnett Newman, Robert Motherwell, and in the 1960s, Jules Olitski, Kenneth Noland, and Helen Frankenthaler, sought to make paintings which would eliminate superfluous rhetoric with large, flat areas of color.

After Abstract Expressionism

During the 1950s abstract painting in America evolved into movements such as Neo-Dada, Post painterly abstraction, Op Art, hard-edge painting, Minimal art, Shaped canvas painting, Lyrical Abstraction, and the continuation of Abstract expressionism. As a response to the tendency toward abstraction imagery emerged through various new movements like Pop Art, the Bay Area Figurative Movement and later in the 1970s Neo-expressionism.

Lyrical Abstraction along with the Fluxus movement and Postminimalism (a term first coined by Robert Pincus-Witten in the pages of Artforum in 1969) sought to expand the boundaries of abstract painting and Minimalism by focusing on process, new materials and new ways of expression. Postminimalism often incorporating industrial materials, raw materials, fabrications, found objects, installation, serial repetition, and often with references to Dada and Surrealism is best exemplified in the sculptures of Eva Hesse. Lyrical Abstraction, Conceptual Art, Postminimalism, Earth Art, Video, Performance art, Installation art, along with the continuation of Fluxus, Abstract Expressionism, Color Field Painting, Hard-edge painting, Minimal Art, Op art, Pop Art, Photorealism and New Realism extended the boundaries of Contemporary Art in the mid-1960s through the 1970s.

Lyrical Abstraction shares similarities with Color Field Painting and Abstract Expressionism especially in the freewheeling usage of paint - texture and surface. Direct drawing, calligraphic use of line, the effects of brushed, splattered, stained, squeegeed, poured, and splashed paint superficially resemble the effects seen in Abstract Expressionism and Color Field Painting. However the styles are markedly different.

During the 1960s and 1970s painters as powerful and influential as Adolph Gottlieb, Phillip Guston, Lee Krasner, Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Richard Diebenkorn, Josef Albers, Elmer Bischoff, Agnes Martin, Al Held, Sam Francis, Ellsworth Kelly, Morris Louis, Gene Davis, Frank Stella, Joan Mitchell, Friedel Dzubas, and younger artists like Brice Marden, Robert Mangold, Sam Gilliam, Sean Scully, Elizabeth Murray, Walter Darby Bannard, Larry Zox, Ronnie Landfield, Ronald Davis, Dan Christensen, Susan Rothenberg, Ross Bleckner, Richard Tuttle, Julian Schnabel, and dozens of others produced vital and influential paintings.

Other Modern American Movements

Main articles: Pop Art, Hard-edge painting, Happenings, Fluxus, Chicago Imagists, Postminimal, Neo-expressionism, and Conceptual Art

Nighthawks (1942) by Edward Hopper is one of his best known works, Art Institute of Chicago

Members of the next artistic generation favored a different form of abstraction: works of mixed media. Among them were Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) and Jasper Johns (1930- ), who used photos, newsprint, and discarded objects in their compositions. Pop artists, such as Andy Warhol (1930-1987), Larry Rivers (1923-2002), and Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997), reproduced, with satiric care, everyday objects and images of American popular cultureoca-Cola bottles, soup cans, comic strips. Realism has also been popular in the United States, despite modernist tendencies, such as the city scenes by Edward Hopper and the illustrations of Norman Rockwell. In certain places, for example Chicago, Abstract Expressionism never caught on; in Chicago, the dominant art style was grotesque, symbolic realism, as exemplified by the Chicago Imagists Cosmo Campoli (1923-1997), Jim Nutt (1938- ), Ed Paschke (1939-2004), and Nancy Spero (1926- ).
