I see why. I usually put the heavy stuff into storage or at friends' houses (lives near the U). There are no point in carrying those heavy stuff back aka Fridge/Microwave/TV when you have those stuff at home. It's just wasting more space in the house, that's not including the hassle of lugging the heavy weight back and forth on the road with less comfort space.

This was brother's college commute:
Freshman: Parents and me drove everything up, etc.
Year-end: Leaves the heavy stuff at friends houses and go home with clothes and computer.
Sophomore: Arrives with more necessities, luggage and new gadgets.
Year-end: Same as freshman.
Junior and Year-end: Same as Sophomore.
Senior: Same:
Year-end: Sold small fridge, futon, TV, microwave, etc on craigslist.

I'm almost the same, but now my parents have a summer home near the school, so I usually store stuff there and rent out the storage space to other students/friends.
