Dorm supplies for college?

Question

so i move in the dorm really soon and i have a couple of questions:

1) should i buy all paper plates and forks etc. or do pple actually buy the real deal and wash them and stuff? im pretty sure my dorm doesnt have a kitchen and theres no way i want to wash dishes in the bathroom.

2) how many guys actually use a robe when taking a shower? i dont really feel like its that necessary but if most guys use it i might as well get one.

Answer 1

well it's been a couple of years since I went to college but I still remember dorm life:) The most important item you will need is plastic or rubber, whatever won't soak up water and mildew, flip flops. If you share a shower with anyone you definitely want flip flops. There will be people who walk around the dorm building  barefoot, which is the very reason you should wear shoes. Everyone I knew had a robe and used it whenever. I would suggest paper plates and disposable utensils. This keeps the bacteria level low. Also, they are recyclable. My dorm had a community kitchen. Girls were always getting drunk and burning the popcorn or forgetting they put food in the microwave. I didn't use it much. Our favorite food was Ramen Noodles:) If you have a small refrigerator you can have some really good food choices. If you don't (I didn't) make friends with someone who does:)jk The hardest thing about dorm life for me was maintaining my privacy and keeping everyone out of my stuff. They didn't mean anything by it and they always opened their door to me, but I'm more private than some people. I always locked my door. It was great though. Good luck
