subject: Dorm Tips For A Terrified University Student [print this page] New students are often left scared at the thought of moving away from home. But many students know the secrets to living away from home. Moving should be an exciting time that you spend with your friends and family. Bedding is one of the most important things you need to take care of for your new dorm.
Being able to customize it the way you want to will really make things more enjoyable. Most dorms are quite small so you won't be able to fit a lot of useless items inside. Some will pick comforters to decorate with while others will choose pillows.
Second hand items that are covered with inexpensive coverings will save you a lot of money. Students are typically poor and need to keep a close eye on their spending habits. Inflatable furniture is often overlooked but it is very cheap to purchase. Besides being cheap, it won't have any problems if liquids or dinner falls all over it.
If your dorm room allows for it, you can purchase a normal sized bed or futon. It will serve two purposes as you can do your work on it or use it to sleep on.
Your dorm room might be small and dark but don't let it get you down. You can always add a few simple things to lighten it up. This new home of yours will be the perfect place to relax and focus on work. Designing a dorm room doesn't take rocket science but not everyone can do it with ease. Asking around for opinions can give you a lot of new ideas and inspiration. Having the perfect room while away from home will make things much better and you will remember it better than those who hated their place.
