Answer 1

Honey, nobody cares! The days of being all caught up in appearance are officially over. Just pack as efficiently as you can so that you have less trips to the car to get your stuff. If you are planning on needing luggage with you, then pack stuff in there. If you have storage bins you are taking, then pack in there as well. One caution, the bin on rollers will not roll that well all the way from the car, trust me I have two of those. You'll be better off carrying it, so don't pack it too heavy.

Again, everybody else will be worried about moving their own things and getting in the right room. They'll also be checking out their surroundings. What type of packaging you have is NOT on their list of concerns.

Answer 2

you can use that bin. bring storage bins or trash bags to carry your things in so you can just throw them away after or even cardboard boxes. don't even worry about looking stupid. so many college kids come bogged down with a TON of stuff and come up with a lot of creative and unique ways to get things into their dorms. i personally use big trash bags for my bedding and then i use my portable hamper for most of my clothes and towels. just relax and dont stress! =)

That would be helpful for snacks and school supplies. For clothes, I'd put them in those really big Ziploc bags-- you can keep them on the hangers and everything. If you can find the storage bins that roll under your bed, those are awesome! Two or three can easily fit under a twin (I found them at Linens-N'-Things, if you have one of those). Hope this helped.. don't worry about looking stupid, you'll be glad when you have the extra space.

Answer 4

that looks kind of dumb.

haha.

I would bring suitcases.

Answer 5

You would look really stupid  

Answer 6

I remember I had the same problem. Luggage and storage bins will work out well. Mostly people there are so involved in moving their stuff in, no one is really going to notice.

It's after you get all your stuff in that you need to worry about. I don't know if you are living in a dorm, but my dorm was small and I don't know how I fit all my stuff in there!

Answer 7

Use whatever works best for packing.. you won't look stupid. Everyone else is probably wondering the same thing.

I just visited my friend's new dorm, and he used a lot of storage bins... he's a pretty smart kid, too. Honor roll and all that. Plus, the storage bins are handy for later, things that are not clothes.

Good luck!

Answer 8

You will look dumb using that.

Answer my question?

Answer 9

That would be good once you get in there but I don't know if I'd roll it in. Does it break down into just the bins and then you can put it together afterwards?
