Dorm shopping tip: Keep a list!
Posted July 22nd, 2009. Categorized under Going into College. 4 Comments
When you start preparing to do your dorm shopping, a bunch of ideas will spring to your mind at different times. Even if you already have a checklist of dorm supplies, it’s still very easy to forget to buy one or two things.
When I was beginning to do my dorm shopping, I found the most useful way to keep track of things I needed was by keeping a list. Whenever something would occur to me that I needed, I would immediately write it down.
Over time, more and more items were added to this list, things that I knew I would otherwise forget, things that aren’t immediately apparent to buy (such as a cable to connect a TV to a cable hook-up, or extra hangers).
Even if you think you’ll remember to buy something later on, chances are you won’t. Write it down, and keep everything you write down together. This will save you untold amounts of stress when it comes time to move in.

Do you recommend dorm shopping online? Or is it better to go to a regular store specializing in dorm accessories? I think the list is a great idea though.
