I have had many requests for a good solid checklist for sending your kids off to college. We’ve had a few experiences with the whole college dorm room thing around here and this is what we’ve come up with!

College Dorm Checklist: What to Bring for Your College Dorm Room

Dorm Room Room Checklist – PDF Download

Leaving for college can be a stressful yet exciting time for students as well as parents; saying good-bye to home and going off to start a new life, in a new place, with all new people. For incoming freshmen, knowing what to bring to create a comfortable living environment at school can be a whole challenge in itself. I know that every new student wonders, “How can I possibly fit ALL of my stuff in this small 12’x15’ room while sharing it with a total stranger?” That’s where we come in!

Here is a little guide to help parents as well as students know what the essentials are for a college dorm room and how to make it all fit comfortably.

1. Bedding

Comforter – Dark, durable and a Twin XL!
Sheets & Padding
- Sheets (grab 2 sets of twin XL)
- egg crate
- mattress pad -Note: The egg crate and mattress pad make your sleep MUCH better on dorm beds. Don’t skip this.

Pillows
- Pillows
- body pillow

2. Desk

Draw Organizer
School Supplies/BackPack/bag – Note: Back to School Deals are listed right on our site!
Message Dry Erase Board
LockBox –Always lock up your passport, insurance card or anything else of value! Things sadly do get stolen!

3. Electronics

Laptop You really do need this.
Printer: We for sure recommend a wireless Brother Printer! It’s better than have your own then always having to rely on the library!
TV
- Amazon Fire Stick
- Apple TV
MP3 Player
Power Strips You might only have 1 outlet for yourself!

4. Lighting

Note: you won’t need a floor lamp most likely because the overhead lighting will light up the room ( if you do you can grab one when you get there).

5. Windows

Curtains

Most dorm rooms don’t allow you to take down the existing curtains. If you know for a fact that your school does not provide curtains then find simple ones that are cheap because they’re probably going to get pretty dirty.

6. Organizing

Storage bins

Note: Under bed storage is key. If you’re wondering where you’re going to fit all of your stuff, this is where.

7. Closet

Shoe Organizer
- Over the Door shoe organizer
- Stackable Show Organizer
Hangers

8. Fan

YOU NEED A FAN

9. Bathroom/Towels

Towels Note: Get big towels – if you have a community bathroom – you’ll have to walk down the hall in your towel
Bathrobe
Shower Caddie
Shower shoes

10. Furniture

11. Floors

Carpets
- Carpet that fills most of your floor
- Bathroom Rug

12. Appliances/Kitchen

Refrigerator If your school doesn’t automatically supply you with a refrigerator/freezer then you definitely need to buy one.
Bowl/Plates/Cups/Utensils
Microwave
Vacuum

13. Laundry

14. Other

Cleaning Supplies
Air Fresheners
Extension Cords
Surge Protector
Over Door Hooks
