SCOTT YOU’RE MAKING COLLEGE SOUND SCARY
it's super fun! don't be scared! :)
@@scottfrenzel “It’s super fun!” says the person who fell of the twin bunk bed 😂
@@Ihaveyourswag well that’s true 😅
It is scary, mwahahahahaha!!
It's fun I am in college but it's hard :)
This is such a boujie list. I’ve been in college for 5 years, and unless you’re high maintenance, you’ll like maybe 20% of this. Definitely get an umbrella, desk lamp, and a toolbox though. College isn’t too scary. You’ll be alright young-ins
Good luck with your doctorate!
@@SuchDarkness How’d you know I’m going for my doctorate?
@@Nonya1010 scaryyy
Wtf are fheyse replies. How did they know ?!
Great tips, also:
1. strainer basket "collander" for quick small bits of laundry and to wash delicates that can't be machine washed (in the sink).
2. Air purifier or houseplant.
3. Small cooking apliance for convienance (if there is a community kitchen).
Good ideas, but make sure you read your housing contract carefully to see what's banned, if anything. Some of the rules are 'flexible' (most ban pets, but nobody's getting in trouble over a betta fish unless they slept with the RA's girlfriend or something), but they're less flexible about stuff that might set the place on fire if someone leaves them unattended, like candles or hot plates.
Air purifier is a must especially if the college has (known or unknown) mold and/or air quality issues... Also a good recommendation is to check all vents in your room to see if you need a new filter in any of them
Can you imagine how insane someone would look if they arrived at school with all the things this guy recommends
Lmao
I might've looked insane but everybody came to me when they needed something because I just happened to have everything lol
@@shaq__2400 true, you'd be our saviour
@@shaq__2400glad to know someone agrees with my school of thought
nah bro would be a Swiss army PERSON
- Consider bringing a second power strip, and bringing that one with you to classes for the first week. If you end up in a classroom that hasn't been updated and has like four outlets for fifty people, you'll be guaranteed an outlet, and four or five extra people will be able to plug in their laptops. Even better if you can get one with twistable outlets, in case someone has one of those bulky chargers that block off an extra outlet.
- Large Ziploc bags - they make plastic bags you can connect to vacuums to vacuum-pack bulky stuff like out-of-season sweaters, but you can get more or less the same effect by putting them in a regular Ziploc, closing the zipper except for an inch or so, and then sitting on the bag before closing that last inch.
- Not so much an item to pack as something I've done more times than is reasonable: If you need a stapler and nobody has one, you can pry empty staples out of nearby bulletin boards and 'manually' staple your pages together. Looks a bit odd, but it's better than nothing.
As a current college junior living in a dorm for the 3rd year 98% of this is accurate. I would recommend splitting some stuff up with your roomie tho (if you can, like yall only need one toolbox, but you both should get the bed shelf) so the bill doesn't add up
A note on allergy meds. Try to avoid Benadryl if you take it in the am. It will make you sleepy and might affect class performance. (You shouldn't take it to help you sleep unless you have an allergy preventing you from sleeping. The sleep they give you lacks REM sleep which is what makes you learn and feel refreshed)
Zyrtec is going to work the same, but wont make you sleepy so you can take it in the morning.
Scott is every college student’s saviour. He’s honestly awesome
Thank you so much for making these. I’m going to college in a few months and honestly- I was super overwhelmed at first. Your videos have made me realize that I have so many other people in the same place, and that I’m not alone. I also actually feel prepared and excited, something that didn’t seem possible with all the stress of trying to navigate college. Thank you, I want you to know that these videos really do help(:
Most of all, you’ll accumulate things over time. Don’t overstock yourself freshmen year!
Good luck at college!
I am 6 years away from college but I still watch these a lot-
5:25 I did like a visitation to a local University (in the uk) every dorm had a kettle
“GETTING A KETTLE IS LUXURY!!!”
me a british person: it’s apart of every house hold
same i love in ireland and i have ever been in a house that didn’t or doesn’t have a kettle 🥲
*live
Same here in Aus. I was surprised when I found out Americans didn't know what electric kettles we're.
@@mimig7251 IKR!?!??
@@mimig7251 do you actually believe that?
I swear Scott is the adds we actually want to watch
Also he's awesome keep it up 👍
This needs to be an add for college students
Ok, deadass?
I really wanna thank you for this series, I watched all of them before my freshman year and you SAVED me.
The umbrella, the storage, EVERYTHING.
THANK YOU.🥰
you honestly don't need most of these things. Definitely get a fan, bring formal clothes, bring an umbrella if you'll use it, you might want to bring a couple tools, check if your dorm allows extension chords before you bring one, and everything else just wait to see if you need it when you actually move in. You don't want to be wasting money on a bunch of unnecessary things when you're a new broke college student. And you don’t want to shove a bunch of stuff you don’t need into your already cramped dorm
yep! its good to know these things if you run into problems, or if youre in a specific situation that warrants them, but dont bring a shit ton of stuff your freshman year
Plus, if you can make do with just the essentials for the first semester, many people who drop out or transfer after that first semester are looking to get rid of stuff they don't want to bring with them.
I’m not gonna be able to enter college until 3 more years, but honestly this is a LOT more helpful. My sister watched these too, and let me tell you, these tips were a life saver.
I'm moving into my first dorm in the Fall and this is a complete lifesaver, honestly. Thank you!
I'd love to see more

bro doesnt know they are rich@@emmabringhurst9325
Hey y’all! I’m a college student and something I did for a makeshift nightstand is grab one of those sets of drawers from Target and put it on top of my desk, which is under my lofted bed. It gives me more storage and works perfectly!
the first one is really the saying " Never judge a book by its cover"
Honestly, if i was gonna get a dorm in college, this video is a LIFE saver! Thanks for the tips!
0:35 I’ve got an 8am and my roommate usually has class around noon and they really thank me for staying quiet. I make it a point not to disturb them so we don’t argue in the future lmao
8:26 meanwhile me fitting 3 of my friends plus myself in my twin XL at home but we’re all large and we slept with our legs hanging off the bed
Thing to bring that were pretty useful:
Scrubba wash bags- they're great to use if you need to wash a few things to wear for a couple of days. Plus it's compact.
A lantern that has a solar panel and hand crank: quite useful if there's a black out and saves you money on batteries. Plus you can double it as a desk lamp.
Power banks with built in wires: quite useful if you keep on misplacing your charging wire when you're rushing out the door.
Travel cutlery: quite useful if there's no cutlery around or if you're a bit of a germphobe.
Collapsible travel mug and/or insulated mug: the collapsible travel mug comes in handy and it saves on space in your bag. The insulated mug is great on those cold days/nights when studying or relaxing.
Insulated water bottle: great for warm weather.
I'm not even in college this sounds like a nightmare.
6:37 that sounds good for time of the months
You are making college shopping so much easier I start this fall and I’m so nervous I’m so lost but thanks to your videos and tips o feel better please don’t stop making them ❤
A little stool, he says.
But he does not know the power of
BEING UNNATURALLY TALL
Are you ranboo?
@@mango3steen No, Im tall
@@JoeMama-md4zt ranboo is unnaturally tall
I’m watching these like the college I’m about to go to isn’t literally 5 minutes away from my house and I’m gonna live at home
I found this recently! I'm a high school senior and this came in just in time!
Yay. In a good few years I'm going to college and I will make sure to watch this the summer holidays before I go there.
You can also use a paper clip to hold pages together
I'm not even planning on going to college but i keep writing down all these things you say, thanks fo rmaking a video of alot of them cause this is better then scrolling to find them all, love your content!
I actually have the food silicone lids, and they are INSANELY useful! They come in like 8 sizes, would highly recommend
I’m a childfree 40 yo, long since graduated college and never lived on campus anyway… watched the whole thing because your delivery is so funny
2:42 I had one. It broke on the way to class on a huge downpour. I live off campus and was just near my building when it happened. Not a fun day 😢
I’m gonna be a freshman this fall so thank you so so much for this!! So helpful
I can testify, those loops earplugs are the best I’ve ever used.
Tip: Get shower caps (free from hotels and pretty cheap too) if you don't have the silicone lid thing. They are light, space-saving, and reusable!
Scott your amazing! It's cool you do this. I didn't find out till I got to college what I really needed! None of the stuff I brought, lol! Parents should be watching these. I'm a grandparent and do! 😊
0:45 plastic wrap or like the silver foil thingy works excellent for that too!! :)
*aluminum Foil
Ive tried the loop earplugs. They work so well. 10/10 recommend
Waiting for res applications to open. Very happy my res is two separate rooms
The fan for me is a MUST HAVE. They crank up the heat in the dorms during the winter months, so the pipes don’t freeze, which means I end up using a fan even with the freezing weather outside
I literally have been saving your videos like this so hopefully I see this when I’m college lol!
I can confirm the Loop earplugs are good, I get overwhelmed extremely easily and it takes away the audio aspect of it :D
thank you! I need this
Congratulations! You just saved many many many many many many many many many lives
I didn't need allergies medication when i when away for college for a year in Brunswick GA by Saint Simons island, but the moved to Athens, GA and my seasonal allergies came back in 2017 sarly like they haven't left me for a year away at college by the Georgia coast.
5th year of college person here.
You’ll be fine guys ^w^. Good luck, and make connections SERIOUSLY.
I just love how Scott makes everything sound too literal 😅
Ok I am obsessed with trolls band together and I literally got an ad for the movie right before this video and I was watching spoilers before this
As a sophomore preparing for college, I see this list as an absolute win
Not me whose LITERALLY in elementary school but I’m watching these videos cuz I think they are rllly reallly rlly helpful so THANK YOU:
I am going to search for this video in 5 years. Oh boy, can’t the future just wait.
7:22 this made me giggle 🤭 thanks scott
My roommate in a few years will be asking me a bunch of questions when they see me with 1000 things just because this guy told me to bring the items

Scott speaks faster than I run 😂
Thank you so much❤
I'm in middle school and I'm already preparing myself mentally and physically for college
same here
As a person about yo graduate collage soon this is helpful
Starting my freshman year of college in two weeks and im terrified lol. this was super helpful
I’m going to Louisville and I’m really scared so thx for all of this man
My bi posture wont let me use a lap desk lmao
Scott makes college sound fun
sometimes
Wow 1 min not bad I NEEDED THIS
So accurate
I think the only thing I still have from my first semester of college is my medicine box/first aid kit the amount of times it came in handy was nuts
This dude is a hero
The amount of times I laughed during this video🤣🤣. This was great, helpful, and entertaining. Thank you! You are very funny😂
I am subscribed to your channel and your the best u make the best videos and ur so funny ❤❤
SCOTT I AM IN THE 10TH GRADE YOU’RE STRESSING ME OUT
1:33
small fans are a great idea but you need to clean them like once a month
im using a fan like that rn in my room and the blades get dusty. having that dust blow on your face all night or all day (or both, yikes) kills you
i just busted it out for summer, havent cleaned it. woke up a few days ago; "why do i have sore throat and a cough??? haha thats weird"
I can confirm allergies are bad in PA. 5:48
In my dorm I am fortunate (or unfortunate) to have carpet floors. If you do have carpet floors get carpet cleaner cuz nothing is worse that spilling your dining hall burrito bowl that you brought back to your dorm so you could watch youtube in peace all over your carpet and not having a way to clean the sour cream out of the carpet. Seriously its a life saver.
Scott, what is that tent thing in the background of the photo of the mattress topper? Looks really comfy 😅just curious
As someone who lives in Pennsylvania, 5:35 was so real, i’m used to it, but whenever i go out of state my sinuses praise me, i don’t even have allergies.
Idk I’ve lived in Pennsylvania for 9 years and I never had allergies or at least of what I recall
😁😁thanks
I LEGITIMATELY HAVE THAT SAME STEP STOOL.
This is awesome because my brother is going to college soon
Hey I did the same when I was young but called for being “skinny” and not “eating enough”
Stay healthy don’t let hate get to you and I love your mask
i remember the first time i watched one of these i was thinking that i still had a long time to think about my college dorm
*i graduate in 3 months*
Hey!! For the earplugs, I recommend flares! I use them for anxiety and they work! They’re hollow in the middle and they block out extra noise! [about $30 US dollars)
Trusting the algorithm to bring me back next year
I ain’t in college yet but the MOMENT before I move in,I’m running to this corner of the internet to see what I need😅😅😂😂
I watched you for recess on the tv in our room (5A) lol
broooooooo i live in PA and allergies are so bad like barely breath bad like if you have a really bad cold 24/7
The speed this man talks is incredible
holly is a queen
6:12 sir i drink canteen water I only fear the flint Michigan water as i need no more brain damage
I now am going to college close to home
American College/University dorms make me laugh. Like, in Canada, in most schools at least, residence is basically an apartment building (or several) with 2 bed 1 bath or 4 bed 2 bath apartments. Not luxurious and the kitchen and bathroom can look like you are in a hospital, but you can buy your own groceries and you get your own privacy.
HOW THE FRICK AM I GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THIS?!
Going to college in 3-4 months and I realized I'm so not prepared 😅.
The umbrella thing. Dear god do not forget an umbrella. My university is in Arkansas which rains like every 2 days. I got to chemistry soaking wet. I legit looked like I stepped out of the shower and into my 8 am. It was horrible I had to use paper towels to dry everything
I don’t know why I watch this as someone who has a uni in my city, I probs won’t be getting a dorm
You did it
8:26 but that worked for me, just our feet was in each others face
Mattress topper is an essential for packing list like the first thing my family was gonna get me was a mattress topper, your crazy for sleeping on that rock without anything over top
