Dorm Room Edition

Congratulations...you're going to college! How exciting!

Now that the frenzy of high school graduation has passed, it's time to prepare for your move to the college dorms. In many ways, it's similar to setting up a new home from scratch. Don't worry, I've done the legwork so you don't have to try to piece things together.

In this edition of The Renovation Planner™, you will find a comprehensive list of everything you need from your bedroom, to the kitchen (if you have one), to the bathroom, and so much more.

Of course, every student is going to have a different experience depending on where you'll be living, what school you're attending, what they allow, and the type of dorm you'll be living in.

What's included is a guideline. There may be items that don't pertain to you and items that you'll need based on your geographical area. Regardless, many of the items are universal and relevant to most students.

You'll also be able to repurpose many items when you move out of the dorms. Have fun...this is going to be an adventure!
