College Dorm Room Essentials – Dormitory Necessities 2022

When you get to college, you get one space: your dorm room. That one little area becomes a kitchen, a bedroom, a dressing area, a gym, a study space and more — and you probably have to share it. That’s a lot of gear to pack into a small space. If it seems daunting, brush up on some organizing tips, roll up your sleeves and get ready to make every inch of space you get count.

But what items on the college packing list are really dorm room essentials, and what can you live without? Because the worst thing would be giving over tons of your precious closet space to a bulky appliance you’ll use a couple times in the first month and never look at again. (Ahem, iron and ironing board. That’s why Downy made the wrinkle release spray.) Before you head back to school, figure out what you’ll truly need with this checklist. Stock up, and you’ll be ready for school.
