My husband thought of the webcam for our daughter - his little girl- you can pick them up at wal-mart-very reasonable and easy to get up and running. As for what he needs to take with him, just the essentials. I know my daughter was not allowed to put nails on the walls so she decorated her room with very creative "wrapping paper" she found at target and walmart and hung it up with tape. Depending on the college and dorm - he will need a shower curtain and bath rug - those floors are so cold - or just send money so he can outfit his room after he sees it and meets his room mate. Good luck! I also think it is harder for you b/c you are sending him on an airplane-and you won't be there to help him get settled--good luck to both of you.
