WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

I was going to start with the interview and application, but with people starting to pack for the spring semester I thought it would be a good time to do a packing list. I have gathered this from other blogs and YouTube videos as well as Facebook group. If you are flying you are going to have to bring less to fit within the airline requirements. If there is anything I have left out let me know and I will add it. Also this list isn't in any particular order. Some of this stuff you may want to wait and take to you roommates about the majors items you will be all using. You may need other things to fit your needs, but this is to just get you started. Also If You are different gender take out the stuff you don't need. We don't want to see any with the wrong clothes.

Make Sure everything will fit in within the Disney look and apartment guide lines. I have included a small list of what's not allowed and will update, if I remember more items.
