A Freshman Survival Guide: Dorm Essentials

By Lauren Englet



The return of fall means the official commencement of a new school year, and if you’re a freshman, a new way of life. Filled with game days at Autzen, navigating campus, and meeting new friends, for many, the transition to college is just as nerve-wracking as it is exciting. Contestably, the key to successfully adjusting to college life is making sure your dorm allows you to relax and recharge. While you may have already selected a bedspread and prints that speak to you, there might be a few things missing from your back-to-school shopping list. Read on to discover WICI’s dorm essentials that will make settling into freshman year a breeze!





To make laundry day easier, save yourself the hassle of carrying a hamper full of clothes and opt for a rollable laundry basket instead.





Make hydrating easy, prevent nonstop fill-up trips, and save space in your fridge with a Brita Water Bottle!





Color, brand, and style are completely up to you, but make sure that shower shoes are at the top of your packing list.





Let friends leave notes while they’re hanging out in your dorm, share inside jokes with your roommate, or leave a reminder for an upcoming quiz in style!






Maximize your closet space and transition between seasons with ease with storage-friendly hangers!






We hope that your year in the dorms is one to remember! Stay tuned for more tips on making freshman year your best one yet.


Love,

WICI
