It’s almost time for graduation! I’m sure that all the seniors are
super excited to go to colleges. Going to college, students have to
not only study on their own, but also have to live on their own. So dorm
essentials seem to be very important. I have made a list of
necessities for dorms and their relative prices for future reference.
You are very welcome to comment if you think of other important
commodities that I didn’t include~

Bedding
Two sets of bedding set of four (including duvet cover, pillowcases,
and flat sheet.) $100
Two standard twin pillows $16
Water proof mattress pad $20
One bolster $5
One comforter $55
One blanket $30

Bathroom
Two bath towels $34
Hand towel $10
Wastebasket $16
Bath rug $10
Bath coordinate $5
Cleaning supplies $20
Shower caddy $5
Shower sandals $13

Laundry
Hamper/ laundry basket $8
Hangers $7

Room decor
Study lamp $15
Picture frame and wall decorations $20
Storage boxes $20
Bookshelf $25

Small fridge or microwave $150

The approximate cost of all the listed items is $585 dollars+tax, and
those items are pretty common and necessary in most the dorms.
Also, girls might want to purchase more cosmetics and more decorations
for the room, and boys may need to buy a tv or an Xbox to play video
games. Sometimes cookware is also important for students who like to
cook for themselves. It depends on the specific need of a student,
but in general, our tabulations are pretty accurate. Although it seems to be
pricey, a lovely and comfortable dorm provides us a nice environment to
study and relax. It’s worthwhile after all to have a nice dorm.
