The hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out what books to pack. I have three enormous bookshelves full, and I’m trying to limit myself to a box. Do you bring the books you’re likely to conceivably read, or the books that have seen you through hard times? New books or old books? Paperbacks, which save space, or hardcovers, which are sturdier? Books you’ve read once and loved passionately, or books you’ve read a thousand times and still aren’t sure how you feel about?
Most importantly, will my roommates judge me for my Jennifer Crusie novels, or secretly love them as much as I do.

Answer: as few as possible, as you will surely acquire a metric assload.

Hardbacks are heavier, but they’re also more durable- dorm life and constant moving can be extremely rough on books. Look at them as a core for the collection you are all but guaranteed to build in school.
Or, at least, that’s how I would have done it if I knew then what I know now.
