Colleges should tell you what your dorms already have so you don't buy unnecessary things
College senior here. Surge protectors are a must-have. Trash cans, depends on your university (I had to buy a trashcan for my dorm). Also consider a shower caddy if you use a lot of skincare and haircare products. Also consider a rolling laundry basket instead of a regular one because you're going to hate dragging a full basket to the laundry room. Hope this helps.🙂
As a guy who just recently graduated, get a TV guys. Trust me
you are NOT catching me watching tv in a public lounge sir
Didn’t use a whiteboard 1 time in 4 years of college
"Chances are your dorm lounge already has one" - excuse me, your dorm what??
Five best items from a recent grad 5: quality shower caddy 4: surge protector 3: universal wall plug (think anker) 2: a ten foot phone cable (the beds are tall) 1: a small tray kr bag that hangs on the edge of your bed for your phone glasses and water bottle (you dont always have a nights stand)
Iron is WAYYYYY better than a steamer. Steamers are so overrated, iron is easier to use too and work better
Steamers are not a replacement for irons. Not all fabrics can be steamed. Plus the fact most irons nowadays come with inbuilt steamers. I think especially if your major or job while in college requires nice-looking clothes (law, etc), an iron with inbuilt steamer and ironing board is a must.
The TV in my dorm was invaluable, the whiteboard was absolutely useless. A steamer or iron are required, it was impossible to keep my clothes from wrinkling without them. My dorm did not come with a trash can, but did have some extra furniture. Gohar is is great, but you’re better off asking Housing & Residency about this stuff.
This man has never been on a college campus before
Student here. That really depends on a dorm. The one I was in (South Korea) had only furniture and a mattress, that's it. No trash can, so you either buy it or go with bags, also don't have a curtain, heck, or even a pillow. Probably the best thing you can do is when you are moving in the dorm, book a hotel for a night, visit the dorm, think of what you need there right now, come back to the hotel, stay the night while also planning/ordering these stuff and then next day go get them, unpack and done.
Gohar you kinda undercooked this one still raw
Bro said too small and showed 8 inches😭
When i go to college i personally will have a tv. 1 to keep myself occupied during free time. 2 keep my stress down. 3 walmart has some for 50 bucks and if not bring one from home
Underrated HDMI cable to connect your laptop to your tv
Here’s some things I’d recommend getting: desk lamp, shoe rack (if u have more than one pair of shoes), water filter which you can keep in your mini fridge, headphones/ear plugs and an eye mask for if your roommate is working while you’re trying to sleep. (Also, absolutely bring a tv, you’ll regret not having it)
“Then you buy a power bank so you have enough energy to follow Gohar” Damn that goes hard
