<p>What's something you needed for your dorm room that you didn't realize you needed until you got there? What are some dorm room essentials and good places to get dorm room things?</p>
<p>For the most part I didn’t really forget anything… clothes, bedding, toiletries, school supplies, plate/cup/silverware, and laptops/phones/cords are all pretty obvious. There’s always lists of things to bring to school, check those and decide for yourself what you need.</p>
<p>I know my roommate had forgotten to bring an ethernet cord. One thing I overlooked was hand soap, but that’s specific to being in a mini-suite here and not a standard dorm necessity. Another thing I wish I had gotten sooner were earplugs, cause I’m a pretty light sleeper.</p>
<p>If you do forget something, it’s not a huge deal… during move in week we had tents set up outside the dorm with all the essentials. The student store will probably also sell most things that you might forget. (If you’re talking about places to get things before you go to school, just look for sales, stuff you like, whatever.)</p>
<p>My daughter was happy that she had packed a mini stapler - even in this electronic age a few of her teachers wanted her to hand in papers in print and specified they must be stapled.</p>
