[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone from OP. I really was mostly in the mindset of organizational items - hooks to hang wet towels, rubbermaid storage “shelves”, bins etc. Son thinks all will fit into whatever storage is provided by the college in the room. If he wants a poster or flag I’m in favor but I’m more focused on not wanting his towel to become moldy nor his side of room to be a mess because he has nowhere to put extra sheets, towels, etc. To be clear he has a small wardrobe and only 2 sets of sheets/towels so maybe I am overthinking, but I remember putting my bed on blocks and then shoving rubbermaid storage bins under, plus using egg crates for extra items.

Get bed risers -- four plastic blocks you use to put under the feet of the bed. Beats our old cinderblock ways (I remember doing that too).

But check if your son's bed needs risers, though. We had some and then discovered the beds in DC's dorm were made so you could slide them up and extend the legs to make the bed higher, which is great! Plenty of room for under-bed storage. In fact the bed could be raised high enough that the room's three-drawer dresser could fit beneath the bed, along with a couple of large plastic lidded storage bins.

There may be very little room for any shelves or bins that don't fit under the bed or squeeze right next to it. Also you'll need to see what his desk is like (if the college provides one, most do). Some have enough drawer space for the usual desk items but I've seen a few that did not. As for shelves -- he may not be permitted to put up shelves on the walls so check on that first. [/quote]
