10 Dorm Room Must-Haves
With the school year just around the corner, I've compiled a list of essentials that every college student will need for their dorm or apartment. Click on the photos purchase:)
1
Shower Caddy- A shower caddy is a must-have for everyone, especially if you will be using a communal bathroom. This will keep all of your shower necessities in one place, and prevent you from realizing you've left something important in your dorm while you're in the middle of your shower.
2
First Aid Kit- I always recommend having a first aid kit just in case. Not to sound like an overprotective parent here but, you'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it!
3
Power Strip- Dorms NEVER have enough outlets! If you ever need to charge two things at once, or just plan to have multiple devices you will need a power strip. You might even need two. This one also comes equipped with USB so you can charge your electronics without having to waste a plug!
4
Steamer- Since dorms don't have ample room for clothing storage, you will need a steamer. Unless you want to walk around campus with wrinkled clothes!
5
Collapsable Hangers- As I stated above, Dorms don't have ample clothing storage. This hanger should help you save some space!
6
Lamp- Dorms are also notorious for having poor lighting. A lamp is an absolute necessity! This one also comes with USB ports.
7
Command Hooks- If you plan on decorating at all Command Hooks are essential. They hold up just about anything and they won't ruin the walls so you don't have to worry about paying for damages!
8
Portable Safe- Since you're going to be living in close quarters with new people, Having a safe for your valuables is a smart move!
9
Collapsible Laundry Basket- Everyone needs a laundry basket, but what makes this one perfect for a college student is the fact that it's collapsible. This makes it easy to store when it's not in use. Perfect for a dorm!
10
Slides- Slides are essential! You will either need shower shoes, something quick and easy to slip on when you oversleep for class, or just something to wear when you run down the hall to talk to your friends!
