Must have since dorms may have mold and college is a new environment. Love this one because you don't have much space in your dorm so this can fit perfecting in a corner or on a table!
Levoit Core Mini Air Purifier
I use this all the time. Much easier than having a iron and board which will take up space. Super easy to use and all it takes is a little water!
Compact Garment Steamer
Much cheaper than a bed headboard. Cover is removable and washable, has side pockets, and very comfortable.
Headboard Pillow with Side Pockets
Much easier than warming up water in the microwave. Super easy to use and loved it during cooler seasons for tea or hot chocolate. Also worked perfectly for ramen!
Chefman Rapid Boil Electric Tea Kettle
Stacked perfectly in my closet to add extra storage. Also worked for under my bed and wheels made the drawers easily accessible.
3 Drawer Plastic Storage Drawers
Get a trash can with a lid! This trash can was the perfect size and worked great at eliminating any smells thanks to the lid.
Step Trash Can
Perfect for homework in bed.
Foldable Lap Desk
Super easy to store and great because it can be used as a handheld too!
Vacuum
Must have since dorm lighting is not always the best and this one fits perfectly on my desk!
LED Vanity Mirror
Hang over the door to save wall space!
Over The Door Mirror Hanger
Great to use when showering with all the compartments. Also super easy to wash to keep it clean throughout the year.
Mesh Shower Caddy Portable Tote Bag
Serves so many purposes. My roommate and I used our to keep cleaning supplies and bathroom supplies on.
