Posted on Last updated: August 28, 2022

Sending your boys- oops, young men!- off to college is something else, parents. We’ve never experienced something quite like this. It’s what we planned for and trained for, but at the same time, it’s what we’re least prepared to do! While we can no longer help them navigate day-to-day life, we can do our best to help prepare our boys for their college careers. Here’s a printable college package list for guys that will get you to campus for college drop-off. Affiliate links are included in this post.

Let’s face it: sometimes having boys is “easier.”

And that seems to be the case when it comes to preparing their college dorms for move-in.

Girls tend to want to decorate, guys tend to want function first- decorations come later.

We just went through this with our oldest who moved into his first college apartment and truly, it was a fairly easy process.

But we did find a few things we left off our college checklist for boys.

Here’s a printable college packing list for guy’s apartments and dorms that may help you plan for a better move-in.

If your son is moving into an apartment, check out our list of a guy’s college apartment must-haves:

Moving into a dorm is generally the first step to college life for boys.

We added a few things to the above guy’s college apartment must-have list to round out what you’ll need in a college packing list for guys.

There are some things you may have left off your college packing list for guys, but that’s what we’re here for: to remind you of those unexpected things to bring to college.

These are the things we remembered to send later, and Amazon came through. But add it to your college checklist for guys now so you won’t have to panic buy later!

Look, we just want to keep everyone honest here.

The number one thing we decided against packing/buying for our guy’s college apartment was blackout curtains.

We know they are on a lot of college packing lists, but we know our dude and knew this would be a recipe for disaster.

If you’ve had to wake a teen boy up for school over the years, you know that a dark cave of a room is conducive to sleeping all. day. long.

So this is on our list of things NOT to add to your college checklist for guys if you want them to, you know, actually wake up for class.
