I take my clothes in those vacuum storage bags, to save space, and my stuff still only just fits in the car!

My sister's already at uni so my mum's got the same system for me - we get a load of plastic boxes, fold up my clothes and put them in and then label them 'jumpers'/'underwear' etc. Seems like logical system to me.. :smile:

woah.... impressive! far too organised for me! All my clothes are now sitting in 3 big black plastic bags on my bedroom floor... I can feel a lot of ironing headed my way!

At the moment I have everything that lives on hangers, hung up outside of my wardrobes ready to just put into the car, then hang up. Then I have 2 big bags full of clothes which live in my cupboards usually, which will have to go somewhere, not entirely sure where at the moment!

Then I have a 3 storey drawer thing which has my underwear, socks, belts and pashminas stored nicely away, will just lift that into the car and then out the other end.

I have so much stuff it's unbelievable...

I'm just packing clothes and a few electronics and banging them into a suitcase and a grip bag, then jumping onto an airplane!

Can buy whatever I need when I get there. I'm not taking plates pots and pans from home that arent mine.

you're not though, because the 4 big boxes of stuff will be unpacked and be around your room, this is the way I look at it.

Half in a giant suitcase and the other half will get black sacks and label them all... seriously needing to be organised or i might go crazy when i get there.

I took my clothes in big green plastic garden bags (they are thicker so you can put more in). And larger items or kitchen stuff I packed in big holdalls with some clothes packed aroudn the side to protect them...

I always took a suitcase with my clothes in. I found that it wasn't just for clothes either, I put picture frames and other such things in between the clothes so they were padded out and I had fewer cardboard boxes to carry up and down stairs. If you're room, or house, is large enough then there will be somewhere to keep your suitcase, but if you live in a hall of residence room you're limited on space - so best to let the parents take the bulk of your bags back with them.
