[quote=Anonymous]Check the dorm's rules on electrical appliances first.

Then, an electric teakettle is a great thing for a tea drinker to have - my DD has one in her dorm room. Cuisinart has an electric tea kettle that you can program for different water temperatures, depending on whether you need boiling water (black tea, ramen) or lower temps (green tea). Then we got her a selection of loose teas, like jasmine, ginger-ginseng for colds, black teas for the morning, and such.

For coffee, there are some cute machines that make 1-2 cups. I'd skip the Keurig because of the expense of buying the pods, unless you plan to keep your kid well-stocked in Keurig pods. Dunkin Donuts sells a bag of ground coffee for $8 or so, which lasts a while and which most kids can probably afford.

Ditto on the tool kit recommendation - someone gave one to DD and it's been invaluable.

Printers are cheap these days. You can get a perfectly good $70 printer, or a $200 printer that does PDFs. Just be sure to tell your kid not to let everyone on the floor use it, or at least to start a pool where people contribute for using the printer, because printer ink is expensive.[/quote]
