Air purifier!! It will help get toxins and mold out of the air. mattress topper because the dorm mattresses are so uncomfortable, medicine basket filled with every over the counter drug you can find (Tylenol, ibuprofen, allergy meds) I also recommend barf bags because if you need to throw up chances are you won’t make it to the bathroom in time. Also recommend icy hot for when you sleep on something wrong and it hurts! If you want more tips dm me bc there’s a limit on comments lol

shower shoes for sure! lots of little snacks, baskets are pretty helpful, you'll probably need clothes hangers, a tooth brush cover, general cleaning supplies, silverware/dishes

all of this plus warm clothes for the winter; a 10 minute walk in the cold with no gloves and a light jacket is miserable similarly, bring lots of blankets and a comforter since dorm AC can be pretty eh

a surge protector. idk where you’re going to school but we often had a lot of storms that knocked out power and it saved a lot of my plugged in stuff, computer and laptop

Yeah, I never thought to bring them until I had food poisoning and I didn’t make it to the bathroom in time

also a good rain jacket and a mini umbrella that can slide into the water bottle pocket on a backpack (unless you go to school somewhere dry/without a lot of rain)
