Personalize your dorm room by first deciding what kind of bed you will be using. Many schools offer extra long twin beds, so make sure you purchase the right size sheets and bedding. Add throw pillows to add pizzazz,but this also allows your bed to double as a sofa for an extra place to sit when friends are visiting.

Make sure you find a comfortable solution for your study area. Some people work best at a desk, while others like to sit on their bed or a comfy bean bag chair.

Whatever you decide you will need good lighting. Make sure you find a good floor or desk lamp to study by.

Lastly, you will need somewhere to store and organize your textbooks and notebooks.
Plastic stackable crates are a good inexpensive solution, because they can be stacked in a corner and also used as tables to rest your drinks and plates.

Add some of your favorite posters and pictures and you are sure to have a fun and cozy home away from home!!
