Lifestyle expert, digital content creator and Emmy Award winning journalist Michelle Park says college students are shifting their priorities when it comes to what they bring to campus.
"As someone who covers consumer trends, I'm seeing a real shift in what college students are prioritizing. They're looking beyond the traditional college checklist, and they're focused on tech that works smarter, wellness that fits into their routine, and creating a space that supports both productivity and self-care."
Here is a look at Park's top picks for heading back to campus this season.
Beauty: Ipsy
Park recommends Ipsy, a curated beauty membership that delivers personalized beauty and skincare products to your door each month. Gift subscriptions are available in 3-, 6-, or 12-month options. Visit Ipsy.com/gift to learn more.
Tech: Dell XPS 13
For students who need a reliable laptop, Park recommends the Dell XPS 13. At just 2.2 pounds, it is the thinnest and lightest XPS ever made. It features 17 hours of battery life, Intel Core Series 3 processors, a touchscreen display, and a backlit keyboard. For a limited time, students ages 16 and up can get one starting at $599.
Dorm living: Compact flying insect trap
Park says the compact flying insect trap is something students may not think of but will be glad to have. Designed for smaller spaces, it uses blue and UV light to lure, trap and kill 99.9% of trapped bugs and provides 24/7 continuous protection. It is available at major retailers.
Stress and wellness: Secret Clinical
College life comes with packed schedules and plenty of stress. Park recommends Secret Clinical antiperspirant, which provides 100-hour protection against 3 types of sweat — stress, heat, and activity. It is available for just under $14.
