DORM ROOM ESSENTIALS
After my first year in college, I can confidently say what is a necessity (or something really nice to have) in your dorm room!
- shower shoes are a MUST!! ESPECIALLY if you are sharing a shower with someone else (or have communal bathrooms)
-my dry erase calendar saved my life! I used it to keep track of due dates and exams!
- I loved having a nightstand since nothing is next to your bed in the dorm to hold your alarm, chargers, etc! Just make sure you get one for the height of your bed!
- a shoe rack is just good for organization and storage! I kept mine right in my closet!
- christmas lights are SO MUCH BETTER than LED lights and they don’t tear off your paint! Just hang them up with some command strips!
- a mattress topper is amazing since the dorm beds are SO uncomfortable!
- these specific storage bags were great for moving in and are crazy sturdy!!
- of course, command strips! And make sure to buy extra for throughout the year!
- a fan is essential, especially if you dorm doesn’t have AC! Even if it does, it is still very helpful to have!

Moving into a dorm can be both exciting and overwhelming, especially for first-time college students. One of the best ways to ensure a smooth transition is to have the right dorm room essentials at your fingertips. These items not only help you settle in but also create a comfortable and organized living space. Shower shoes are crucial, especially in shared bathrooms, as they protect against germs and provide comfort. Additionally, having a dry erase calendar is a game changer for keeping track of assignments and deadlines. In the compact environment of a dorm, space-saving furniture like a nightstand or a shoe rack can make a significant difference in organization and accessibility. Lighting is also essential for creating a cozy atmosphere. Opt for string lights instead of harsh LED lights, which can be unappealing and may damage the walls. A mattress topper can transform a hard dorm bed into a more comfortable sleeping surface, ensuring restful nights. For storing belongings, look for sturdy storage bags that make moving in easier without sacrificing durability. Finally, a small fan is indispensable, particularly during warmer months, to help maintain a comfortable climate in your dorm room. With these essentials, you’ll not only thrive in your college environment but also enjoy a lived-in yet organized space that makes your dorm feel like home.
