Dorm
Try to acquire as much of the packing list for Freshman year at college as possible before travelling to college, but if you're buying a lot of these items it can be easiest to buy them once you get to college. On the day your parents drop you off, just plan a trip to one or two big box retailers in the neighborhood like Target to stock up on the miscellaneous small stuff. It's a great way to send your parents off knowing they've been helpful.

Misc Tips from Experienced Parents:
Rolls of quarters for washing machines. More than a few parents said rolls of quarters were one way of helping do their children's wash without physically being there.
The cure-all: duct tape. It's not a joke. Students need it to tape down all those wayward cords, fix broken items and hang things.
Batteries. All sizes, and don't forget chargers. Most students forget that camera and calculator batteries die with lots of use, and there's not a go-to drawer filled with batteries like there is at home.
Flip-flops for those community showers. They forget too that college dorms can be welcoming venues for germs.
Flatware. At least one fork, knife and spoon are necessary - and often more if students tend to lose them. A box of plastic utensils is one suggestion. How about a plastic bowl and plate & roll of paper towels.
Lighting such as flashlights and lamps. Lighting in dorm rooms is notoriously poor.
Over-the-door storage units for shoes or extra hanging clothes or under-the-bed boxes. Dorm rooms are small. Need we say more?
