[@Dani-wq7uk]

YES!!! So pumped for your back to school videos! I'm going to be a freshman in college so I'm so grateful to have them! I've literally binged watched all of them over the past week😂 thanks Katherine for your AMAZING advice!

[@Katherout]

i love hearing that you're binge watching my videos!!! that's what i made the playlist i linked in the description for ;)

[@squirlle6]

"I'm sure there's a store near your college" Yep a Walmart... that's it. The town my college is in is so small. There's two stoplights, a Walmart and a few local shops. The population is literally 3,500.

[@TheHellfire007]

Rebekah Rocha damnn where are you?😂 I can't relate at all, my uni is in Daytona Beach 😂

[@hannahchingarande972]

I've been watching you for a long time! I'm going to be a junior in high school, and am really excited to re-watch your videos I've watched freshman year! Great inspiration! Thank you for your help Katherine! 😘

[@livelovejacky]

Yay so glad you uploaded this! I am currently shopping for my dorm room and because I'm a first gen college student I have no idea what I'm doing haha

[@Katherout]

CONGRATULATIONS! you should be so proud. and trust me, none of us knows what we're doin. that's why i make these videos (kinda like for past me)

[@collegedormnecessities2080]

Awesome advice! All of the products are definitely great for a college living space. The weekender bag is such a life saver!

[@HannahFoster1]

[@Katherout]

[@jakewahout7294]

I know this might sound dumb, but an iron and an ironing table! If you have interviews for jobs or internships, you might want to look professional. It also depends on your major/area of study, but if you're in education, for instance, you'll probably attebd a few internship interviews!

[@chloegrace4180]

Love this video, can't wait to go to college next year!! Also, I love how you reply to all the comments, you're the best! :)

[@Katherout]

+Chloe Grace they make my day!!

Enjoyed the music! Such a refreshing change from the overbearing pop music used in most of the KZbinr videos I watch. :)

[@caitlynguess8892]

[@FionaIbrahim]

I live in MA (Greater Boston) and reusable shopping bags aren’t too head turning in my experience

[@HopefulRaccoon]

great vid katherine :)

[@Katherout]

thanks thanks thanks!!

[@Geometric337]

#2 Is something I have already kinda been wondering about. My college is located in Orlando really close to Disney so a lot of my friends from home are already like "ooo I'll come visit!" because its only like 2 hours away. I always assumed they meant when I finally decide to move off campus but I keep seeing "Have a sleeping bag" in these sort of videos. Can non students stay in a dorm room? Can any person who is not assigned that room stay in that room? It doesn't really matter but curiosity you know lol Also #4 don't forget to check the amount of sodium in meals like that, eating a lot of excess sodium can be really bad for your health and those meals often use salt to keep them from spoiling

[@ruth1021]

Hey, are you going to UCF? That's where I go now! Anybody can stay over. I think the official rules are that people can't stay past like, three consecutive days or something like that, but they don't have to sign-in or whatever so your RA isn't going to kick your guest out if they stay past that. I would just okay it with any roommates beforehand, esp if you're sharing a room. I lived in an apartment style last year, so we each had our own rooms, but I know I still got annoyed at seeing my roommate's bf in our dorm for a week and a half straight.

[@Geometric337]

Yeah, I got towers because I applied late for housing, 4 room 2 bath 4 people, I just got my assignment. I could defiantly see how the boyfriend thing would be annoying, good for you for sticking it out and being a cool roommate though. Me and one other friend from HS will be attending UCF in the fall, if you have any tips for me, I'm all ears lol.

[@catynice9930]

Thank you for the beautiful advises !!! Now I can't wait for college 😻🤓

[@abbynunka3279]

LOVE the music in this video!! ❤️

[@Katherout]

it's throw it back by proleter :--)

[@karencardona2992]

[@Katherout]

[@calm_bucket87]

I love your videos!! 😍😍

[@Katherout]

[@haejinsuh]

[@nikkinichole909]

What's the best bike lock to get for your bike ? I hear at a lot of school your bikes get stolen often

[@Katherout]

[@Jackieibr]

[@Gleeked420]

[@mariakatherine1919]

where is your bedding from?

[@ArticOwl22]

3 bed, 2 bath 6 us of, 2 girls a room. But 4 of us use the one bathroom because the other bathroom is in the master bedroom of the apartment. I feel like we are always trying to go into the bathroom at the same time or always head towards the shower at the same time. What would you recommend to avoid that? Love your videos!

[@samsungmine7]

"to cuddle up for movie nights... with your "room mate"

[@florabescansaluers]

gayyy

[@NicoletteRivera]

this was really helpful!

[@lizageorge8923]

Where did you get that lamp?

[@weezydai]

Katherine would you say a Brita filter is necessary at USC? I heard LA water is sketchy at best but idk that holds true for SC's campus so I would love to know!

[@Katherout]

most people I know have them! unless the only water you drink is from the dining halls

[@weezydai]

Katherout good to know, thank you!! :)

[@LayraSparks]

All laundry rooms in the dorms have bottle filler stations with filtered water, so you can just fill your bottles there if you want to. Though my roommate and I kinda stopped caring our second semester and started drinking faucet water. My roommate's from LA and she said she's been drinking it all her life and it's fine.

[@weezydai]

LayraSparks Thank you so much for the info! :)

[@Katherout]

that too!!

[@ginafedele3263]

[@kelseyshelley9268]

In*

[@Katherout]

[@kashishadventures19]
