ok, my dorm doesnt allow any cooking, we have to go down to the cafeteria, but i find that i can cheat and use a coffee pot to cook stuff, eggs and such... really nifty when ur craving a midnight snack...

one of those hanging door organizers that has all the cool pockets, comes in handy,
and our bathrooms are a public use thing, so a small crate thing, to carry soap and such, is useful too...

i dunno, theres so much you need, but you dont need to bring your whole room, bring some pictures but not the whole photo box,
and dont stress to much if you dont have something, borrow your room mates' or steal it from that annoying jock down the hall until you can afford one for yourself..

have fun in college. its a blast...
