What Goes in a Dorm Room

These days, whether you’re moving away for college or you're working on moving your kids, these things can feel one in the same. The fact of the matter is, you have way more choice on the dorm room you’re going to be staying in for the next four or five years. In years gone by, it was a matter of picking either the top or bottom bunk and being stuck with one, two, or three people. And you didn’t always get a choice in the matter because it came down to what was available.

But these days? Everything is about choices! You can pick whether you have a room of your own, twin occupancy, a room with bunk beds or a room with normal beds. Each kind has its advantages and its disadvantages, so before you go ahead and choose your dorm room, think about your sleeping arrangements. Do you hate the idea of sleeping in a bunk bed? Or do you think it’s a great space saver? Try starting with our dorm room checklist for 2018.
