College classes will start before you know it! The classes are registered for. The dorm room has been assigned. What will go in it? You want the dorm room to be smartly organized. Your child will need many items for sleep, studying, and relaxing. Here is a good starting point to get the dorm room (or suite) off to the right start.
College dorms can be older, plus having extra filtration is always helpful. I remember using my Brita on a daily basis.
If space-saving is key this coffee maker (cold or hot) will be a great for your college bound child to get their energy back.
Coffee maker: probably one the essential purchases on the college checklist. Energy boosts are needed for that morning class, or studying during finals week.
If you need a great space to store a couple of items that are compact and fit under a loft bed? Here is a great choice.
FRIGIDAIRE EFR331-BLACK 3.2 Cu ft Eraser Board Mini Compact Dorm Fridge (Black)
If your refrigeration needs are little bit larger and also have a bit of writing space, this seems like a great option.
Depending on the meal plans and kitchens at your child’s college or university, you may need some plates, mugs, etc. I wish this option were available for me.
Double-check what the outlet configurations are like in your child’s dorm. I do like this power strip because of the USB options which is what a lot of electronics’ chargers are using.
Cable can be pricy or not an option in a dorm. It will be great after a long day of classwork to catch up on their favorite TV shows.
I have this and it is a lifesaver! It is a bit heavy because you add a battery. The built-in light is very helpful. It is compact and comes in handy on a constant basis.
These are essentials for making four blank walls feel like home. It will be exciting to see what type of decor and colors they choose!
Closet space or lack thereof needs solutions. This will be helpful to short the clothes after laundry day in the small closet on campus.
This is great for touch ups and cleaning around the dorm. The refills for the semester will definitely be needed.
There will be a notebook or two along with all the college pens at the welcome events during the semester. This seems like a slim design that can fit on the dorm room desk.
My SwissGear backpack survived many years of middle school and all the field trips along with it. I have a SwissGear diaper bag and it has been durable on all of our baby and toddler adventures. This brand holds up and I also like the strap support which will be great when classes are on the opposite side of campus.
Many dorm rooms still have a common bathroom in the hallway. Even in suite-style living there can be a lot of bathroom products in one place. This caddy can help keep all the essentials in one spot.
The provided twin XL mattress may not be the most comfortable. this mattress pad can assist with the sleeping after a long day.
Hope the move-in experience and the college semester goes well!
