Kennesaw State University: dorm packing list
Heading to Kennesaw State University (Georgia)?

Packing for Georgia: hot & humid
Expect heat and humidity well into the fall. A powerful fan is essential — confirm whether your hall has A/C, because many older dorms don't. Lean toward moisture-wicking bedding and breathable fabrics, keep flip-flops handy, and skip the heavy winter coat (a light layer covers the mild winter).
