This is the 3 in a 4 part series on dorm needs. This posts focuses on the bathroom/laundry. In previous posts I have covered the bedroom space and living room/study space.

In most dorms, the college student will have communal bathrooms. Laundry facilities will also be on another floor or in another space. Most of the needs for this space are necessary.

Necessary Needs:

• Towels – great time for the new student to make their own statement with new towels (or save some money and borrow mom’s!)
• Robe – Since you’ll be going from your room to the bathroom, you’ll need something to cover up during the journey.
• Flip-flops – Protect your feet from fungus!
• Shower Caddy/Tote – something to carry all your stuff to the bathroom
• Soap holder/toothbrush holder – get some of the travel holders to keep them dry and contained.
• Over the door towel rack – This can help your towel dry out between showers.
• Hamper/Laundry basket – A hamper can hold all your dirty clothes, the laundry basket will hold all the clean, folded clothes to take back to your dorm room.

No (you really don’t need to bring this item):

• Scale – wait until you go home to weigh yourself or go to the gym at the school.

Did I forget anything? What do you think is necessary for the bathroom or laundry area?

Next: the Kitchen/Cleaning Supplies!
