When it comes to living comfortably in a college dorm room, there’s no end to the things considered “essential.”
After all, transitioning to a smaller space with a potential new bestie can be a lot. Not to mention the potential rules a dorm may impose.
At the end of the day, being away from home for the first time can be a challenge for students and parents alike. To make it easier on everyone, we’ve compiled a list of 18 dorm room essentials to prepare you for whatever #dormlife throws your way.
Some essentials are practical, like a shower caddy to store your favorite shampoo, a desktop fan to keep you cool, and a foldable laundry hamper because, yes, you will have to do your own laundry eventually. And you can’t forget a mattress topper to transform your basic bed into a plush, hotel-worthy one.
Then there’s the fun stuff to make your dorm feel like a home. Think a multi-hued LED light bulb to create the perfect vibe, a cute throw blanket for a cozy study sessions (or a nap, let’s be real), and a compact makeup organizer and a light up vanity mirror to make getting party-ready so much better.
Even if you are a senior who thinks they know it all, you can always use a few extra essentials to ensure your home away from home is as comfortable as possible. We promise you won’t regret having these essentials readily available in your dorm room.
