I'm beginning to go through my things and am almost done buying what I need for college in the fall. Now comes time to pack :( I've already bought 3 smaller under-the-bed storage bins, so I will be packing some things in there. Since I can't come home before winter break and I'll be in Massachusetts for school, I bought Space Bags to pack my winter clothes, coat, gloves, etc. I know that I should use as many storage boxes (that will be functional when I get to school) to pack as possible, but since there's not very much room in a dorm, there's also not room for too many plastic storage boxes. So, other than the few storage boxes I already have and possibly the few more I can bring, what's the easiest way to pack up everything that I need?

None of my siblings have gone to college, and other members of my family didn't move away from home for college, so I don't really know anyone that I could ask. Being a freshman and never having done this before, I realized that I've got no idea how to go about it! Any suggestions would be a lot of help, thank you :)

When my sister was off to college someone told her to ROLL her clothes instead of folding them because you get more room in the luggage/containers. We checked both ways and DID get more packed with rolling.
Hope that is a bit helpful
