Out of this list I'd just choose my favorites, which would undoubtedly be different than yours. If you're anything like a typical college student your desk will quickly get cluttered with papers, so smaller figures are preferable. Kaiyodo make for excellent decor in a college room.

Silvanusaurus

Monsterarts Burning Godzilla is an absolute must.

Shonisaurus

I would be in favor of taking me to the University smaller figures like Kaiyodo but if not and since they are not in the list, I would choose the small-medium Papo as you are resistant to abrasions and blows.

I take me from that list would take me small-medium-sized papa dinosaurs like the feathered velociraptor to put an example or medium size as kaprosuchus. I would not be in favor of taking many figures since they are lost, and then happens to be discontinued and you have to buy them at more expensive prices than you bought them in case you find them.

CAWCarcharo

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely take it all into consideration.

This would be easier to figure out if you made a poll.  ;)

Silvanusaurus

Honestly, given the challenges of beginning at university, presumably moving away from home for the first time (?), and the many changes and potential turmoil this will all bring, my advice would be to prioritise whichever figures you have the most personal or emotional attachment to, the figures that bring good memories, or comfort, or special amusement, the ones that will make you feel good when times get tough, that will be a light when all other lights go out. Or something to that effect.

I agree with some other comments, as someone who finished school and lived 3000 miles away from home for another year, take what has sentimental value. Also I highly recommend one big piece people can play with, as drunk friends/roommates etc will wanna play di osaurs (they always do) and instead of wrecking your priceless museum piece, a big Chinasaur is way easier to distract :3 plus their fun to store pencils in their mouth if it's a screamer. Good luck!

KeU

Feather dinosaurs. To spread awareness that this is what dinosaurs look like.
And burning Goji. That is just spectacular to look at. And pretty compact.

Mirroraptor

The S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla 1995 is the old one or the "soul web limited" one?
The quality of soul limited G95 frequently declines, always with uneven color. Also has wrong tail-spine color.

DinoLord

Don't take anything too expensive or sentimental.
