Hi, Congratulations on getting this far. My son went to college in Cork. He lived in close proximity to the college (saved on travel time & costs). We sent him back with cereals, noodles, pasta, pasta sauces. On the weeks he came home lasagne, steak, bacon. Vacuum packed and frozen foods have a long shelf life. We drove down with him for his first weekend and brought a lot with us. Washing up liquid, toilet rolls etc., ( if sharing a kitty is a good idea). We gave him €100 per week for everything else.
