Here's a quick link to the 16 products that are the key to an easy drop off/first year dorm experience: liketk.it/3liUi
My tip is to get them an inexpensive area rug with a pad. It makes the room so much more comfortable. My daughter told me she thought it helped her make friends because her room was so cozy.
This was an absolute amazing video! So very helpful! Thank you so much!
Wonderful video Marnie!!! I need these videos and they are so helpful!❤️❤️❤️
Excellent tips and insight!! Went through this with our daughter when she moved out to her first apartment after college.
Wow, great video. Thanknyou sooo much!!!!
Such a helpful video! Thank you.
Great video Marnie. Not in my wheelhouse at this time of my life but still awesome information I can share with a couple friends. Have a great weekend 😘
Thank you so much Marnie! Your college videos are so helpful. I particularly love your advice to back off and let our students take the lead. As a natural planner, this isn't always easy for me, but I have to admit it's what I don't do that has most helped my 19 year old become a competent, confident young man. Although I will say, he is a tad bit underestimating the move-in challenge of a Sophomore dorm room in a 140 year old building - on the fourth floor with no elevator or air conditioning!
Oh boy-that does NOT sound like fun! Don't forget to bring an electric hand fan!
So many great tips, Marnie! 🧡
GREAT video, and thanks for getting parents information for mental health options for their students! These are difficult days and its SO important!
Even though all schools offer counseling, it’s usually limited in scope and the wait list is VERY long.
Really helpful Marnie. Thx
We used the slim hangars and the way we did it (if not putting them in a bag) was to group 10 together and then zip tie them together. Then we tied a garbage bag around the hook from the bottom up so that if anything fell off of the hangar it would stay in the bag. Those slim hangars really hold together with the zip ties and you can easily grab and carry the clothes bundle. We called my daughters medicine kit her "get better box". We also included pulse oximeter these past two years with the pandemic. Even though this is her junior year at TCU, we still had a big fight in Target last week about a few last minute items :)
My children are grown, with children of their own, but I love to watch these videos and live vicariously. Sometimes I miss those days, even though I have two amazing and caring sons and wouldn't have it any other way.

Marnie, this video is a goldmine of helpful information and any parent who takes your advice will be forever grateful. Terrific video! XO ❤
Hello Pat mear
Marnie! Thank you so much for this video. I am moving my daughter into her dorm in a couple of weeks and am so anxiety ridden about it. This video has helped me tremendously with so many great ideas!!! Thank you 😊
It will be ok, I promise. The anxiety is a part of the process but you'll get through it!
Thank you for this video! My youngest daughter is moving into an apartment , now that she’s going to nursing school , and you just refreshed my memory of all the things I have to do to get her situated. Your tips here are spot on.
Congratulations!!
Marnie, you are so on point, as always. Love all of your content, but maybe this is my fave typend video from you (After the relationship advice video)!
These are honestly my favorite types of videos to make!
Thank you soooo much for this. I've been watching you for a while but wasn't aware of all your other videos on this subject. Will totally check them out. I held it together until you started in about the dinner reservations! Great idea but the tears started to flow at that moment! He's doing a year of service in Americorps NCCC before his Freshman year and many of these tips were helpful for that as well. You're so right, all the feels are happening.
You’ll be all right-once you’re in the moment it’s a lot better. It’s the anticipation of saying goodbye that may be worse than the reality.
I posted this Video to my FB!! Terrific Ideas Marnie!
Thank you!
My son is going to be a freshman in high school, but I’m definitely going to save this video for the future. I know this will be here before I know it. 😢
Hug him often...you're right, it goes fast!! Mine is a junior, just moved him into his first off-campus apartment! 😁😪 miss him already...
High school is the fastest four years of your life (the second time around)!
Invaluable video! Thanks a million ❤️ Freshman move in is in a few short weeks and letting go is tough man but … it is just what will have to do. 🥺
You did your job well, Mama! It’s your time now too!
Thank you Marnie we are about to embark on this in 2 weeks……happy and sad at the same time. Great advice
It's a strange time for parents-lots of conflicting emotions!
My oldest is a rising senior. This was a lot to take in, but I am going to saving this one for the future to watch again this time next year!
I have a whole playlist of college advice videos. I’d recommend watching them early so you’re ahead of the game for next summer. Congratulations!!
We are preparing to take my son in 2 weeks. Thank you for making this video! I took notes of things I completely would have not thought about. This is very helpful!!!
Good luck and have fun!!
I love these videos! My son is going to be a sophomore at University of Illinois and my daughter is going to be a senior in high school. We used all of your tips years ago when my oldest son went to Iowa State.🌸
I-L-L!!! I’m an alumna of the University of Illinois!
Great video! My oldest moves into the dorm as a freshman in two weeks!😊
Good luck!!
Great video! Doesn’t apply to me but I’m forwarding to my BFF who’s going through this and could use the help.
Thank you!
This was great Marnie! We live in CA and are taking our oldest to college in FL in 4 days! Since we are flying he’s only bringing his clothes & shoes and we’ll have to buy EVERYTHING for his dorm once we get there😬Also since it’s so far & expensive to fly we won’t see him again until Christmas. Gonna be soooo hard😭
That’s going to be a long first semester for you. It does get easier though!
I wrote a letter and left it under her pillow. It helped me express my emotions without slobbering all over her and eased her loneliness the first night in a new place.
That’s such a great idea!!
I wish this had been released before I moved my daughter in. She's a sophomore but stayed home & was virtual her freshman year. Her dorm room turned out super cute. I only cried when I left. I'm proud of myself haha
Wow-she moved in early!
Thanks you for all the tips. My son is headed to Ole Miss. Did you buy the bedding package that the school offers?
I did with the first kid. It was actually pretty nice. We supplemented it with a few other things.
I was watching Fuller House the other day and at some point the dad said 'the hardest part about being a parent is that if you're good at it, eventually, you're out of a job', your children may not need you the same way they did when they were screaming for you in kindergarten but they still need you. They're lucky to have you Marnie, I feel like I say this in every single one of your parenting videos but growing up I wish I'd had more hands-on parents telling me a vaccum cleaner would be a great icebreaker for making friends ;) (it's so true though!) That was a surprisingly touching video, lovely to watch, and on a more practical note, I *need* a steamer! :)
That's a great line. I remember a friend of mine saying she felt like she was getting laid off from her dream job. It's a strange, transitional time in our lives but it can be a lot of fun, too!
Awww Marnie, thank you for this. Our baby is off to college in a few weeks. 😢 Cannot believe we’ll have no kiddos at home, first time in 32 years! The house is full of anxiety from both her and me.
Love your guidance regarding the online help (saved that info) & all of your insight. I know she’ll be fine, but feeling sad already. I’ll be missing my sidekick!
Thanks again, xoxo
Do you still remember me Heidi
The lead up is sad, but I promise once she’s settled and you’re back home you will find this stage of life is a lot of fun!
@@MsGoldgirl really so where are you from?
I don’t have a kid going off to school, but I think that the best advice for today’s issues was for them to leave the door open! Your right, can’t meet new people behind a closed door.
That could apply to all sorts of life situations, metaphorically and literally.
I wish there had been something like Better Help when our son began college. I don't know if he'd have participated in it (we were calling and paying for cabs in another state to get him to therapy). There is far less stigma in reaching out for care now than even a decade ago. He wanted no part of it. Ah well.
I was just talking about this at a doctor's appointment today-we need to stop calling it mental health. It's just health. But thank God there is starting to be less stigma attached to addressing these issues!
