Can you believe it’s back to school time again? While everyone is getting ready to head back, our daughter comes home for 3 weeks until the fall semester starts after labor day. She’s been away since January, and we cannot wait to see her. And, we’re in our new home which she hasn’t seen yet, so that’s exciting too! Anyway, if you’re getting ready to pack up your college student, I’ve rounded up 12 of our favorite dorm room essentials to make your shopping easier. Our daughter has lived in a dorm, sorority house, and a townhouse on campus this summer. These tried and true must-haves are things you will actually use and all on Amazon Prime!

Dorm and apartment essentials:

1 – Shower Tote 9 compartments and offered in 6 color options.

2 – 4 Piece Portable Utensil Set – This handy set has its own case. It also comes in a 16 piece set!

3 – Over the Door Organizer 14 hooks to hold everything from towels to coats.

4 – First Aid Kit – Multi-purpose first aid kit – great to have in your car too!

5- Keurig Mini – Perfect for small spaces.

6 – Twin XL Sheet Set – I’ve gotten these for our daughter the past two years. It comes in 40 different color options! We have these at home too!

7 – Extra Large Moving Bags – These make moving in and out of the dorm or apartment so much easier. Available in a 2 pack up to 16 pack!

8 – Multi-Plug and USB Outlet Extender – Everyone could use an extra USB charger. This also would be handy in your hotel room when traveling.
