My recent college grad and her friends used white boards on their walls. Their dorm desks also had fold-out white boards, too.

Command strips selected according to the weight of the board.

Interesting and good advice - so how do kids hang posters, pictures etc in your DC’s college dorms?


They could use thumb tacks or very fine nails or putty.

+1 White board??? Not a good look. Hope he’s in a single at least!

What's the big deal with having a white board on your door?

Do they also communicate via walkie talkie?


Their dorm has whiteboards on many doors. People drop by and write notes and draw pictures.


Yup...they really do! DD's suite put their mini crossword time up daily.
