Back to School Essentials: College Edition

Starting college is an amazing experience, but having the right supplies is a must. Pens and notebooks are a given, but shopping for college is much different than high school. Luckily, we’ve created a helpful list of back to school essentials so you don’t forget anything important. Skip the overpriced stuff at your campus bookstore and purchase your essentials before move-in day.
