Starting college is an exciting adventure, but moving into your first apartment can introduce a flurry of uncertainties. Between juggling classes, meeting new people, and adjusting to a new environment, it’s easy to overlook some essential items when considering what to bring to college. 

Whether you’re a freshman stepping out on your own for the first time or a senior moving off-campus, forgetting important items can cause unnecessary stress. To help you avoid that first-day panic, here are 17 of the most commonly forgotten items every college student should have in their apartment.
