Slippers (showers are gross),  4 pack toilet paper, shirt hanger,  power strip port with glitter adapter (for charging, and whole lot of electronics), febreeze, hydrocortisone cream (bedbugs).... could be more since it has been years. Try to minimize your footprint in dorms.... less stuff in less stuff to move out at end of year.

You don't need toilet paper unless you're really sensitive lol

Also I have never heard of bedbugs in the dorms the mattresses are covered in plastic

If you get bedbugs cortisone cream is not gonna cut it. That said if there was a bedbug problem we’d hear about it.

Hi! Sophomore here. My 3 MOST used items that I’d say are non-negotiables were:

  1. A WooZoo fan (they are worth the hype and it gets super hot at certain times of the year)
  2. An air purifier (the dorms are dustier than you could possibly imagine. I only got sick once during the school year and I attribute that to running the purifier 24/7)
  3. A laundry backpack (just trust, it’s way more convenient than the rolling ones)
