Typical Dorm Room Things

<p>If you guys don't mind could you give a list of some sort with things that you all took (or are taking) to college for your dorm. And why.</p>

<p>-bungee chair (fun and bouncy)
-TV/PS3 (entertainment)
-Laptop (make my life easier)
-Mini-fridge (something got to keep the food cold)
-Hot Pot (This little thing is better than a mircowave and can actually be used in a dorm.)
-Hand Vacuum and Broom (for cleaning)</p>

<p>Laptop (actually required to have it)
Toiletries (do I have to tell you why you need these?)
Clothes (I don’t know how many nudist colleges there are)
Bedding (because you don’t wanna sleep on just the mattress)
Storage Ottoman (it’s cute, a quick seat, and quick storage)
Drying rack (for drying bras & delicate tops and the times where you don’t want to pay for the dryer)
Floor lamp (in case the overhead lights are too much)
Desk lamp (for focused light on the desk)
Flashlight (you never know when you’ll have freak weather or when a random squirrel will chew through the power lines)
Cards Against Humanity (a game for when everyone just wants something to do and doesn’t wanna go outside)
Cables (cable tv hookups, ethernet cables, etc)</p>

<p>If you prefer people not sit all over your bed, you might want chairs or something. I personally don’t mind people sitting on my bed so I won’t bother. My roomie will probably bring a chair or something anyways. And there’s always the desk chair in the room.</p>

<p>Obvious things are clothes, bedding, school supplies, laptop, etc.</p>

<p>For bigger things, you should talk to your roommate first. Fridge, microwave, tv, etc you should coordinate on, would be silly to bring two when you could just share. For chairs/couches/whatever, you might wanna see the space before you get those… some dorms are really small, so stuff doesn’t always fit.</p>

<p>Extra storage containers - the ones supplied by your college are never enough
Speakers, if you live in a single
Extra blankets - even if it’s not cold, these are good for sitting on the floor
Body pillow/extra pillows - dorm pillows suck
Desk lamp
Printer - More convenient and good for scanning
Coat hangers
Kitchen supplies/Eating utensils
Space heater/Fan - Depending on the weather where you are
Desk chair - Only if you really want a comfy one</p>
