Staying in a college dorm is the first time that many young people live away from home. Though most manage to get by easily enough in the often very basic circumstances there are several items that can help to make staying there less hassle.
- Supplies For Cleaning. Student dorms often become somewhat dirty in a short space of time, especially if there is a lot of socializing taking place. General cleaning solutions, sponges and paper towels are helpful to keep on hand.
- Power Strip / Extension Cable. In most cases, a single dorm room has four to six electrical outlets. With a computer, a television, cellphone charger, etc., there are often more items requiring electricity than outlets. Additionally, it's not uncommon for them to be located near each other or in less than convenient places so purchasing an extension cable provides more flexibility to set-up the room as desired.
- First Aid Kit / Bandages. Though the standard mentality of college students is that they are indestructible, occasionally a paper cut, shaving knick, or skinned knee needs a little medical care. A basic first aid kit, complete with cold medication, burn ointment, and bandages is a neccesity for any college student.
- Personal Printer. Most colleges offer computing areas for students to work on projects and to print their reports and assignments. However, such areas are often very busy and are restricted to daytime hours of availablity. Having the option to print-out what you want, when you want with a personal printer is much less hassle. Large electrical stores normally offer several basic printers at discounted prices that perfectly fulfill a college students printing needs.
- Spare Bed Linens. The item that takes up the most space in a dorm room is the bed. With it being the largest object in the room, it is often made use of for things other than sleeping, with it also becoming a couch, a shelf, or a drying rack, amongst other things. This can quickly lead to spills, stains, and dirty sheets that need to be washed. Keeping spare sets of linens, including a comforter or quilt, sheets, and pillow case, makes going to sleep more enjoyable.
- Tools. Things get broke within dorm rooms and when they do often the maintenance men don't come quick enough or say that it's your responsibility, not theirs. Having basic tools, such as a screwdriver and hammer, makes little accidents less frustrating.
