ReadyU College Adjustment Support + P&G Giveaway Package!

August 19, 2011 By: Briana Carter


I’m still a few years away from sending a child to college but it isn’t that far off now that I have a 8th grade student. However, I’m guessing I have a few readers out there that have children heading off to college. All parents want to send their child off to college well-equipped and prepared for anything.

ReadyU is a program that aims to improve the lives of college students by helping them through the anxiety of leaving home, meeting new friends, and living on their own. This can be quite an adjustment for most students. ReadyU provides content, experience, and solutions to conquer life outside of the classroom.

According to P&G data*, the items parents and students forget to pack most often for college are:

  • Toothbrushes for college men
  • Feminine hygiene products for college women
  • Cough and cold products for college men and women

Kids in college LOVE care packages! While your student or a student you know is at school, you can send them the ultimate ReadyU care package with products from Gillette, Old Spice, CoverGirl, Tide, Herbal Essences, Crest, Olay, Secret, and Duracell. From getting ready for their morning class or doing their own laundry (ACK!), this care package will help them feel closer to home!

Here’s a example of a few items that you may need to send:

    When I was in college, my aunt would use her couponing and rebating skills to load up on snacks – chips, crackers, candy and send those in care packages to me. The other stuff was fine, but the snack boxes were the best. I loved them, and so did my friends!

    I am a college student and I LOVE care packages! It’s so hard to have money to getyour own essentials so I love it when my parents send me stuffing need like feminine products, shampoos, soaps (and especially laundry stuff), toothpaste and medicine. Its also great getting easy to make food for the dorms and stuff I eat when I’m sick. And the number one best is homemade treats :D I love my moms cooking and always miss it!

  76. Betty says

    August 19, 2011 at 10:24 pm

    I LOVE to send care packages! My favorite things to put in care packages are, body wash, bandaids, razors, shaving cream, deoderant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo & conditioner, toilet paper, laundry soap, and BATHROOM CLEANER (especially for boys:) This year, I’ve been able to make some really nice ones thanks to couponing. However, the deals are getting harder to make lately. With 1 neice and 4 nephews in college, I am working diligently to be able to make care packages for each of them. What fun!

    The stuff I put in my son’s college care package are: blade refills for his razer, shaving cream, cold medicine, bounce dryer sheets, roll of quarters, new toothbrush and toothpaste, carmex, poptarts, cookies, singles flavor drink mixes and lots of twix candies :)

  84. Teresa says

    August 19, 2011 at 6:56 pm

    I like to give my neice, Purex Sheets or free samples of Tide so she doesn’t have to lug big bottles to the laundromat. Roll of quarters helps and she is always appreciative of grocery store gift cards (we don’t want her to starve while she’s away!)

    Toothbrushes and Toothpaste (I love all the freebie you help us find)
    Deodorant
    Body Wash & Soap
    The small packages of cookies and chips.
    Bottle Water
    and 2 Liter bottles of pop on occassion.
