[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an idea what my son's dorm room will look like - teeny tiny!

Less is more.  Focus on needs: bedding (mattress pad, sheets, comforter, blanket), desk/floor lamp, fan, mini fridge if not provided by the university, hamper for dirty clothes, t.v., towels, bath caddy, caddy for cleaning supplies, First Aid kit, stick vacuum.

I got my son a 5X7 area rug that is light weight and easy to transport.  I also got him a camp chair that he can use in his dorm room to watch t.v., he can take it outside or anywhere else he might need a portable chair.  He also ordered some posters/wall art for his room.

A vacumum?  Wow I am sure my son would not consider that a need.  Caddy for cleaning supplies?  Will he be cleaning other rooms?   I am impressed.[/quote]

He and his suite mates are responsible for cleaning their bathroom (they do room checks so, yes, it does have to be cleaned).  And, yes, he needs cleaning supplies.

The stick vacuum is up to him to use.  If he gets dirt on his rug from hauling in sports equipment at least he'll have something to vacuum it up with.  I got the vacuum for cheap on sale with a coupon so if he doesn't wind up using it, oh well.  At least he has one.[/quote]

My kid says no TV. He can stream anything he wants on his laptop. Some colleges eve have streaming services that all students have access to. [/quote]

From what I've seen, most of the kids have t.v.s in their dorm rooms.  The screens are bigger and it's easier to have friends in to watch a game or whatever.[/quote]

We were told not to bring a tv because they could get cable on the computer.  We're just buying our kid a decent monitor.[/quote]
