Bedroom

standard, highly rated sheets set with a bunch of different color options 😌
Nestl Twin XL Sheets Sets, 3 Piece 1800 Series, Deep Pocket Twin XL Dorm Bedding, White
an easy option for additional seating, which doesn't take up too much space while moving or in the room!
Big Joe Joey Bean Bag Chair for Kids/Teens, 2.5 ft Smartmax Lounge Chair, Easy-Clean & Lightweight, Black
honestly really comfy and convenient (I still use mine)
Mainstays Faux Fur Plush Backrest Pillow, Black
a space saving way to get ready outside of the bathroom!

small but mighty 😌
Honeywell 10” Turbo Force Power Small Table Fan, 30ft. Air Circulation Power, Quiet operation, 3 Speed, 90° Pivot, Wall Mountable, Black, HPF820BWM
Bathroom
made with communal bathrooms in mind!
essential for a communal bathroom
Mainstays Small Portable Shower Caddy Frost Plastic
the one I personally used and had no issues with! as long as you have a shower hook you'll be fine~ (there's no structure/support it were to sit on the ground)

another must have for communal bathrooms!

Essentials
just my personal suggestions~
not many color options but an amazing freshman starter pack!
Virtu Back to College Dorm Room Essentials, Twin XL Comforter Sets, Dorm Bedding, Twin Xl Bed In a Bag with All Dorm Accessories and Bedding, Linen
if you prefer a plush sleep then a mattress topper is a must (unless your school is just that fancy 😂)
CONCETTA 3-inch Twin XL Cooling Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper - CertiPUR-US Certified Pressure Relief for Back Pain
if you're looking for something a little easier to move than a typical memory foam mattress topper

would definitely look at the dimensions before purchase but I recommend this or a mesh pop-up laundry basket.. both are easy to drag and can hold a decent amount of clothes!
Mainstays Flexible Round Laundry Hamper, White Plastic
a ton of different color options to store school work + supplies!
Livhil Desktop Organizer 4-Tier Desk Organizers Sets and Storage, File Organizers for Desk Drawer Organizer, Paper Organizer for Desk (Black)
