Know
Your Space
Visit your dorm room and measure the area
before purchases are made. Be sure
containers and storage units will fit in
the intended space. Also, determine if
containers will accommodate the items
intended for use.
Go
Vertical
Can shelves be added above the desk? Is
there a naked wall screaming “store
something on me!”? Always take
advantage of vertical storage when
possible.
Do
Not Duplicate Items
Contact your roommate before bringing a
television, microwave, or
refrigerator.

Drawers
are important to have at your desk. A
small drawer will keep clutter such as
pens, stapler and staples, paper clips,
etc off the desk and within
reach.
Papers
are easy to control in a file drawer or
file box. Utilize hanging files and a
simple alphabetical system to easily find
study papers. A trash basket should be at
your desk. Keep paper next to printer and
fax.

Clothes
Be selective when packing for school.
Bring items that are easy to mix to create
different outfits; and items for only one
season. Utilize plastic hangers and hang
like items together. Pants, skirts,
shirts, & coats will be easier to
find. If a single rod is high enough,
utilize a double hang rod to give more
hanging space.
Storage
If there is space for a table or cart, use
one with drawers or shelves to make use of
the space underneath. Stacking cubes are
an inexpensive and practical way to create
storage.
Plastic drawer units in the bottom of
closets provide easy access for items
without digging in the back of
closets.
Down-under
Use bed risers and utilize the space
underneath the bed. Sheets and towels can
be stored in plastic “under bed”
containers for easy access.
