How big a college? What is their rules? How rural is semi-rural? How secure can you make your vehicle, and what is your vehicle? What kind of dorm- two a room cell-style, two to a room in a suite, one to a room in a suite? How far are you from home? Buddies from home there, or will you be a stranger? Is your plan to stay at the school if SHTF, or head home?

A good FAK, with a bottle of Immodium in your desk (college food will kick your hoop for the first few weeks). At LEAST a week of real food, plus a bit more (college food will suck after the first few weeks), plus water and your carbonated/caffinated beverage of choice. Earplugs. Nitrile gloves, a box of them (some people are just slobs). Your own stash of real TP from home. Two hot pots, or a hot pot and an electic kettle. A Brita pitcher or similiar (never been on a campus where the water didn't taste funny) and sugar free flavorants. A good door wedge.

For the car, the basics. Add a small camp stove and/or a small grill to your trunk, with fuel and a cook set. A map that is marked with your primary, at least two secondary, and as many tertiary routes home as you can think of.
