A college dorm packing checklist covers extra-long bedding, a shared-bathroom caddy, desk tech, laundry, and the housing banned list so a small shared room is ready on move-in day.
Students arrive with regular twin sheets, a banned hot plate, and a second mini fridge their roommate also bought.
Why This Happens
Home packing lists ignore bed length and residence-hall rules. Without a roommate split, the room fills with duplicates and nothing to sleep on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sheets do dorms use?
Most U.S. residence halls use an extra-long twin, about 80 inches. Standard twin sheets come up short. Check your assignment before you buy.
What should I confirm with a roommate?
Fridge, microwave if allowed, rug, trash can, and TV. One of each. Put it in a text so you both remember.
What usually gets banned?
Candles, incense, halogen lamps, hoverboards, and many cooking appliances. Read your school's list. Do not pack it and hope.
What belongs in the day-one bag?
Sheets, pillow, towel, meds, charger, ID, and a water bottle. The rest can stay in bins until the room is open.
