There are many things necessary for college life and study, including English-Chinese electronic dictionaries, MP3 players for practicing English listening, insulated water cups for self-study, schoolbags, stationery, balls, notebooks or mobile phones.
If you are a college girl, you can also give her some home-style gifts, such as a sunshine jar, a plush doll, a creative nightlight/desk lamp, a wall-hanging handicraft, a name necklace and so on.
