I'm a college senior. Here's what I recommend all incoming freshmen get for their dorm rooms...

College campuses around the country are about to be flooded with incoming freshman and their parents. Many will be moving in with carloads of dorm goods that they probably will never use. Their parents probably spent hours Googling "best command strips for temporary use" and "best twin XL sheets."

As a senior at the University of Texas at Austin, I know how stressful dorm shopping can be. I've done it several times over the years and have really honed in on what students need to make their dorms their home away from home.
