probably the best advice is for her mother is to stop freaking because it is obviously affecting her daughter.
Best advice-- don't take too much.
Depending on where she is going, chances are there is a store where she can buy what she needs, or can easily order it.

One son is a college grad, the other will be a junior next month. Both lived exclusively on campus. Sorry, but you have probably already bought way too much for the dorm room. The room is likely SMALL and she will be sharing the space with someone! She will be fine, as she will meet good people right away- her soccer team. You and Mom need to get it together and be happy and supportive. (and stop shopping!)

The most important thing any son or daughter can do when they move into campus is to make friends immediately. Meet the students on the floor along with your roommate and go out to dinner or breakfast or whatever, that first day. The sooner they make friends, the more they will enjoy college and they will feel at home. Encourage them to stay on campus on the weekends, its the only way for them to feel comfortable in their new life. The students on a sports team have it easier since they will be a member of the group right away.

Dorm rooms are often TINY!!! She can always ADD stuff, hard to get stuff back home if she's overloading to begin with.
Everything being online now, she can order from Walmart, etc. if there isn't one close or if she doesn't have a car on campus, or campus is too far from Mom.
