College Dorm Tips: Boxes, Beds, and Goodbyes

Moving a college freshman into a dorm is part packing list, part construction project, part decorating challenge, and part emotional goodbye.In Episode 5 of Take the Turn with Maryanna and Jay, we share what we learned from moving two kids into college dorms — one boy and one girl. We cover dorm room must-haves, what we bought, what we built, what we would do differently, and the emotional side of helping your child take this next big turn.We talk raised beds, storage, bedding, desk hutches, fans, air purifiers, medical kits, move-in day tools, thoughtful things to leave behind, and the custom bedside shelf Jay built to save money.Download the full dorm move-in checklist at http://www.taketheturnshow.com
