Here are some important documents that you should definitely bring with you when you go away to school. Let's just say that I forgot to bring 4/5 of these and had to have them mailed to me from home! Oops!
- Social Security Card: If you are planning to apply for a job when you are at school, you will need to show your SS Card and drivers license in order to be able to work. You should find a safe hiding spot for this in your room and make sure you don't lose it!
- Passport: This can be used in place of your SS Card when applying for a job. It's also great to have if you go to school close to the border of Canada or Mexico. For example, a lot of schools in Upstate New York have buses that take day trips to Niagara Falls.
- AP/IB Scores: Your school should already have record of the college credits you've received by taking AP/IB or college credit courses in high school; however, if your college ends up not having this information on record, having these files with you can save you a lot of trouble. I was able to place out of 3 classes because of my AP classes! It was awesome.
- Health Insurance Cards: If you happen to get sick when you are at school, your health insurance cards are vital. They will allow you to visit medical centers and get medicine. Some health insurance companies require 2 different cards: one for doctors visits and one for getting medicine. Make sure you have both!
- Instruction Manuals: You might have had your printer for years, but if something were to go wrong you would definitely want to refer to the instructions! I had a folder in my desk where I kept all miscellaneous instruction manuals. It really helped me a lot.
Did I forget anything? Hope this was helpful!
