Overrated vs. Underrated Dorm Items

[elisabethl]

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.🙂

Didn’t use a whiteboard 1 time in 4 years of college

“Then you buy a power bank to have enough energy to follow Gohar ”. That was smooth.

Colleges should tell you what your dorms already have so you don't buy unnecessary things

[ZeroTwo_TT]

you are NOT catching me watching tv in a public lounge sir

[lordhater]

As a guy who just recently graduated, get a TV guys. Trust me

[stefanoctaviansterea]

"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)

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.

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.

Iron is better than a steamer. Steamers are so overrated, iron is easier to use too and work better

[patrickrowland]

Gohar you kinda undercooked this one still raw

[MarshallCrouse]

Underrated HDMI cable to connect your laptop to your tv

[chknman]

you cant use steamer to iron formal clothing or even semi-formal, an iron gives it a way more solid shape and it looks way better

“Then you buy a power bank so you have enough energy to follow Gohar” Damn that goes hard

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)

Bro said too small and showed 8 inches😭

Honestly from personal experience it’s way better to have separate trash cans if you have other roommates. Eliminates any conflict about who’s responsible for taking it out
