Just what are you going to need to make that cold, bare, unfriendly dorm room livable?
Dorm Room Must Haves
Fully enclosed mattress pad
Additional (memory) foam pad
1-2 set of sheets
Good pillow
Warm blanket/down thing
Portable/foldable Laundry basket, preferably with pocket for SMALL* laundry soap & dryer sheets
*for no more than 10 loads – probably 2 loads!
If they can’t use their ID card for laundry, Roll of quarters
Hangers
Bulletin board & pins
Posters and sticky stuff to put them up
Shower kit/caddy
Box of Kleenex
Extra headphones
Plate, mug, spoon/fork/knife, sharp knife.
??coffee maker??
Snacking food: crackers, cocoa, fruit (okay, maybe not), cookies, Monster Beverages, etc.
Assorted plastic storage.
P.S. 4 sturdy plastic crates from Target WILL support a bed – more underbed storage clearance.
Cool drying rack. That is how most peolpe do it here in Germany. Many do not own a dryer at all (but ours comes tomorrow!) I need to get a drying rack but we need to get a free standing one bc we are just renting and can’t really install something like that. KT
