College move in day. Such an important rite of passage for every incoming freshman. Everything from going shopping to planning your decoration and even driving up to your dorm on move in day. This is such an important and fun experience.
Uninitiated college students may find outfitting their dorm rooms a daunting task. Research trends such as mood-boosting hues and heritage styles, as well as what the school allows and provides.
The light in dormitories is notoriously poor, and there are few convenient electrical outlets. It may be a good idea to buy a power strip that has surge protection, USB ports, and outlets that can accommodate various plug shapes.

A laundry hamper can take the form of a rolling basket, a compact mesh hamper, or a laundry backpack, among others. A dorm-sized jigsaw puzzle is extending storage with shelving. How are desk hutches handled at the school? Is it permitted or provided?
Don't replace sturdy shelving with over-the-toilet bathroom shelves and ask the school if you can place shelves or stands in front of windows.
Consider adding extra baskets and drawers under the bed and in the closet as well as sturdy vertical hanger extenders.
