Dorm Room 101

Living is a college dorm room your freshman year can be pretty tough with learning to adjust to a new place. Read some of the must-know things about surviving in a dorm your first year of college.

  1. Showering: Showering in small dorm bathrooms can take some getting use to. You’ll also realize it’s impossible to shave your legs in such a small space.
  2. Washing your clothes: You’ll learn fast that the best time to wash and dry your clothes is when everyone else is in class.
  3. Eating: Before anything else, figure out where the best places to eat are.
  4. Studying: Pick out which studying spot is best for you–whether it be your room, common space, or library.
  5. Space: Learn how to make the most of the small space that you have.

College will teach you many life lessons, but the first one I learned my freshman year was this: dorm rooms are small. My first year of College, I shared a dorm with three other girls and quickly learned how valuable every square inch of space could be. I also discovered that the key to having more space is to be organized. Here is a list of some of the best dorm organization items out there.

  1. For your closet: A laundry hamper, Slim-line hangers, hanging shelves, and shoe racks
  2. For your desk: An accordion folder, Bookends, Desk organizer lamp, dry-erase to-do list, and desktop drawers
  3. Storage Solutions: A 3-drawer cart, stackable drawers, lined baskets, storage ottoman, over-the-door hooks, and a hanging jewelry roll
