[quote=Anonymous]My daughter didn’t get one and now they did her roommate. I don’t know how it would even attach.  What she did get was a power strip which we then taped to the wall next to her bed.  That was very helpful.  Her roommate got one of those things that hangs down from the side of bed to put stuff in but my daughter didn’t think it would be useful.  Having moved  freshman out of a dorm room my big takeaway is “less is more”!  Even with the stuff she had I had to take a day off work to help her pack it all up and figure out storage for it over the summer.  I agree with Pp that a lot just gets trashed because people can’t figure out what to do with it for the summer.  At least the posters pack flat or roll up.

Mine got a shag rug for her room—that was not a thing when I went to college but she really did like it.  But it definitely meant we needed a truck or to hire movers to store it over the summer.  I’m also wondering how it will anell after summer in storage but I guess we’ll see.  I’ll have to send her with febreze or something.  I rolled it inside out, wrapped it in an old sheet and then used packing tape, trying to find a way to minimize dirt collection but also let us breathe over the summer.

In sum, do not fall prey to the arms race on dorms decoration.  [/quote]
