In Knack Dorm Living, Casey Lewis - herself a college senior at the University of Missouri - provides the guide she searched for, in vain, in her freshman year. She offers invaluable tips on what to pack and what to buy, what to expect, decorating, clothes, and organizing time and money. This is an ideal high school graduation gift for high school seniors, both girls and guys, set to move away from home.
