These are items I wish I wouldn't have bought for college! After all, saving money is key!
Laptop Lock: There's a reason your dorm comes with a key. I paid $25 for this and not once did I even open it during my 4 years at college.
Bed Lifts: My University bed wasn't even capable to be lifted by these things...most often times your dorm furniture is able to go under your bed to lift it.
Printer: Trust me, it's nice to have your own printer, but is it needed? No. My University gave students print money and plenty of print stations around campus to use.
Iron & Ironing Board: Maybe the iron if you plan on wearing nice dress clothes, but forget the board.
Rent/Buy Textbooks: RENT ! Don't ever buy. Schools are always getting new editions every year and they don't get much for selling them back.
I'm also helpful to suggest items that you SHOULD bring to college (:
