Thousands of students are moving into residence halls at Minnesota colleges and universities this weekend, and they'll be dragging more stuff into their tiny rooms than their parents ever dreamed of. Much of it is electronic.
Computers. DVD players. Television sets. Cell phones. Xboxes and MP3 players and iPods. Not to mention coffeemakers and espresso machines, microwaves and mini-refrigerators. All in rooms that usually measure about 120 to 150 square feet -- for two people.
"What I find amazing is that students bring all these things, and when they move in, it's a box," said Rachel Kittelson, residential-life director at St. Thomas. "Within two weeks, they have transformed it into their home."
I hope this is the start of continuing series. Maybe next week we will learn about the pizza ordering habits of college students.
