This isn't a dorm decor post unfortunately, but I'm an incoming student who's a little lost and likes to prepare way in advance, what are some things you feel are necessary that most people don't think of when it comes to your dorm room?

these might already be on some people’s lists but things i found i needed once i moved in were a fan, string lights, as many extension cords and storage totes/carts as possible, wrinkle releaser spray for clothes, and a huge supply batteries !!

Get the high quality extension cords especially if you are going to use a lot of items in them! The really long phone chargers like 10 ft? And also I seemed to always need a steamer! Also just a little tip wait to buy all your cleaning and bathroom supplies until after you get there same w trash cans and anything that may be in shared spaces that way yall can pick a theme you all like and split the cost of it!
