Dorm room Necessities/Wastes

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Planned on the fridge and micro. As to the TV & game system, the couple times we've toured it seemed that more rooms were without than with.

Casio alarm clock wrist watch. Day planner (suggest trapper keeper).  Prepaid calling card. Harmon Karden tower speaker with 18" subs.

Buy season tix and a pricey parking pass for football games, and go up to all the games and throw a tailgate...even though your kid might be sporadic with his attendance at your tailgate.  But, just be cool about it and don't pressure him to come by.  Soon, he and his friends will all come by and hang with you before every game.  Your kid will remember it for the rest of his life.

My parents did this with Teddy Westside and the other 2.  Microwave basically became part of the family during 4 years of my parents doing this.  This is probably the best piece of advice I've read on this blog.

Lived in Moore Hall (Whore Mall) and Putnam. Apartment living is far superior, but I'm glad I did the dorms. Don't forget your shower flip flops, collapsible hamper, and deodorant.

You were probably one of the kids that forgot your deodorant, too.

I used to feel the same way.  Then I had two planters worts cut out of my feet the summer after my freshman year.  Try standing on those while you run the spot welder at a slushy machine factory.

Yeah seriously, the dorms are literally designed to be an optimal breeding ground for communicable diseases, the least you can do is wear some GD flip flops.

Also, Pete, your dad sounds like a treat! Congrats on being aware of how awesome he is!

Never lived in a dorm. Would like to contribute to this thread, but my lack of relevant experience leaves me unqualified. However, I will watch with interest.

Really looking forward to doing this with my kids.  Only difference will be they will have to let a slightly pak'd dad stay on the couch at their house after the game.  Go Cats!

one time i had a bunch of people partying in my dorm room freshman year and this one girl had great big bazongas and we convinced her to show us those things but only if the lights were off, so obviously when she did it somebody flipped the light back on and everybody laughed and drank more natural light. college kids are so obsessed natural light / bazongas combo, it's crazy.

I had a bunch of clothes stolen from the laundry one time, including my favorite shirt.
