If you are sending a student off to college in the fall, then you may already be feeling a tad overwhelmed, especially if this is your first time! What do they need, and especially what don’t they need?? What are the best products and price points? I’ve been compiling a list ever since I did this with my kids, and I’m sharing my curated dorm room lists in case you need a place to start.
I’m a voracious researcher and price comparison shopper and am including options at all price points. And if you think something is missing from the list, I want to know in the comments so I can add it! Good luck!
Literally everything you need for the dorms all in one place, organized into handy lists.

This hanging jewelry organizer is GENIUS for storing medicine and a great idea for the dorms! We had so much fun making this and I’m at-ease knowing she won’t have to make drugstore runs when she’s feeling off.
You’ve got three options:
1. bare foam topper on its own that you will need to cover in a mattress pad;
2. foam pad encased in fabric that will likely not need to be covered with a mattress pad;
3. all-in-one foam topper with plush mattress pad.
There are Pros and Cons to all of these!
