College Dorm Packing List Spreadsheet | Move-In Checklist for Students & Parents, Editable XLSX

Stop re-writing the same packing list on sticky notes. This College Dorm Packing List spreadsheet walks a first-year student (and their family) through everything needed for move-in day, organized by category so nothing gets left behind — or packed twice.

Built for incoming freshmen, transfer students and the parents helping them get ready for their first semester in a residence hall.

What's inside:- Move-In Info — school, dorm/hall name, room number, move-in date, meal plan, roommate and RA contact details, and emergency contacts, all in one spot.- Packing Checklist — pre-filled items across 9 categories (Bedding, Bathroom, Electronics, Mini Kitchen, Documents, Clothing & Laundry, Study Supplies, Storage & Dorm Setup, Personal Care). Set the quantity needed and mark each item Packed or Not Yet, color-coded automatically.- Check Before You Pack — a short reminder list of items many dorms restrict (candles, space heaters, hot plates and similar), with a column to track what your own school allows.- Dashboard — automatic summary of items packed, items still needed, percent packed and progress by category, calculated from the checklist above.

Included in this instant download:- CollegeDormPackingList.xlsx — the full editable workbook (Instructions, Move-In Info, Packing Checklist, Check Before You Pack, Dashboard)- CollegeDormPackingList-US-Letter.pdf — blank printable checklist pages for US Letter paper- CollegeDormPackingList-A4.pdf — same, for A4 paper

Works in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc. Only the yellow cells are meant for typing — everything else is protected so the formulas can't break by accident.

The "Check Before You Pack" list is a reminder to check, not a ruling — dorm rules vary by school. Always confirm the actual policy in your school's housing handbook or with your RA before you pack.
