<p>Hey I was just wondering if it was worth it/suggested to buy an ironing board and iron for the room, or do laundry rooms usually have some? Do they even allow it?</p>
<p>dont buy, one waste of money</p>
<p>^how would you know, you are a high school freshman, aren’t you?</p>
<p>to the OP: i would contact the school and ask what people usually do for ironing. they will know the rules/guidelines for having an iron or where you can use one.</p>

<p>it’s not listed under prohibited items.</p>
<p>Definitely buy an iron. They won’t stop you. Ironing boards are optional–I used a towl on my desk since it was hardly ever cluttered. Also several girls on my floor had ironing boards who I was close with and they were nice about letting me borrow theirs when I needed to. But it’s up to you.</p>
<p>Well I personally need an iron because I have a bad habit of not folding my lothes before i put them in my drawer and then I need to iron it before I wear it. Stupid I know but it’s a bad habit. xD</p>
<p>So yeah, I guess it’s really about what you need. I already iron a lot at home so I now I’ll use mine, but if you’ve never ironed and don’t think you’ll need to in college then why bother?</p>
<p>I know people bring in irons because my son’s rug in his dorm room has an iron burn right in the middle of it.</p>
<p>yes you may bring it if you need one. =]</p>
<p>If you’re looking for a quick solution to rumpled clothes without the fuss of ironing, try Downey Wrinkle Releaser. It’s a spray solution that freshens and does a great job of smoothing out wrinkles & rumples. It can be hard to find, but Bed Bath & Beyond carries it.</p>
<p>I know…some things really still need a good old-fashioned ironing. Look for a basic iron with auto shut-off (always unplug it when not in use, but at least it’s a good backup in case you walk away for a minute and forget about the iron) and a small portable ironing board that won’t take up valuable storage space. </p>
<p>Sometimes I feel like Heloise. ;-)</p>
<p>Get an iron or hang everything. I did that last year when I had a normal (not midget) sized closet (now I have a midget sized closet that I have to share with my roommate, so I can’t do that anymore…that is until I change rooms). Your dorm rooms are likely going to have very little space, so be careful about what you buy. If there’s something that absolutely needs ironing (i.e. a dress shirt), I think it only costs like $2 (at some places) to get them pressed.</p>
