Here are some things you need for your room next semester!

  • Mattress pad: beds in college are known for being very uncomfortable
  • Throw Blankets and Fans: dorms are either freezing cold or hot and sweaty
  • Phone and Computer Chargers: these are always a must have
  • Photos of Friends and Family: this brings a litttle piece of home to your room
  • Planners and Calendars: this is essential to keep track of assignments and deadlines
  • Small Vacuum: because the vacuums that are provided usally don’t work
  • Water Bottle: because plastic ones cost money that you many not want to spend
  • Tile Key Finder: if you lose your room key it will cost you $50+ to replace it
  • AirPods/ Headphones: great for studying in public spaces
  • Laptop: this is the most essential thing that a college kid needs
