only bring CD's if it's an absolute necesity. if you don't have an MP3, you get grad money-invest in an iPod, it's the best money you can ever spend. they really are worth every cent, and anyone here who has one will agree wholeheartedly. but try to put as many CD's as possible onto your computer. that way all the music you want is there, without sacrificing a ton of space, which in most dorm rooms, is not a lot.
yeah who uses cds? :lol:

i would NEVER bring a 914 into the dorms. That is asking for drunken trouble. Bring a beater, or at least something not quite as nice as that.

don't be that guy. everyone always see's that guy, and everyone secretly laughs at him. and people who play guitar laugh even more, because everyone knows exactly what your doing. don't be that guy. just don't. college lends many chances to play guitar and get pussy, you have to let them come to you. because then it's so much more rewarding.

i like tictacs wrote:ANOTHER THING. does your college have special theme housing or living options? see if you can live in a 'music interest' or 'music appreciation' or 'live performance' floor of a dorm. I know where I'm going has those themes. I'm sure that people there are going to be less interested and more aware of musical instrument theft. because musicians know how anal other musicians are. not saying it's a fail-safe, but i'm willing to bet that there is much less interest in theft amongst people in the same area for the same reason. also, everyone knows what everyone else is playing, etc etc. so try that out.
my college (UMaryland) has theme housing, but not a music theme. i wish it did, you would learn so much more by living with other musicians.

This isn't trying to sound mean, but don't worry about playing for the move in day or orientation. Meet people. At worst, meet people who will listen or play with you. Take the time to get to know people instead of spending EVERY free moment playing guitar because you'll be THAT guy right away instead of later :wink: Enjoy college, especially the first few days to meet new people!

don't even really let on that you play, let people found out and if they are interested in hearing you they'll ask you to play.

that's how ive always been, i have friends that dont even know i play the guitar, i treat it as a hobby and i dont really care for playing in front of people that much (unless its a gig and im getting paid). plus it sucks to be put on the spot like that when you really dont feel like playing, and people keep hassling you about doing it
