blueyes211 | OCEAN, NJI work at a University and for a few months I helped out in the dorm mailroom. Halloween and Valentine's Day are by far the 2 holidays where many students receive packages. Also it is a great idea to send a final exam care package. This could include candy, a stress ball, a magazine for a study break, and even something as simple as pens and pencils. I am sure anything is appreciated.
