22. Sweater Organizer

Drawer space is limited or nonexistent in many dorm rooms, so you will definitely want to invest in a sweater organizer for storing folded clothes in your closet.

This one comes with six shelves so you can fit tons of clothes on it, and it can be hung on any closet rod. I actually prefer these to drawers because it lets me see what I have at a glance.

23. Command Hooks

A college classic. You will use these all over your dorm room, so buy a couple of big packs and thank me later.

The uses for these are endless, from hanging your blow dryers and curling irons to organizing your hats, necklaces, and purses. I also like to make a designated hook for my bathrobe inside my closet.

24. A Full-Length Mirror

Your dorm might come with one of these (mine did sophomore year but not freshman year), so try and find out ahead of time before you buy one.

I prefer over-the-door mirrors like this one because they’re foolproof to hang, but you can also get a leaning mirror for those *aesthetic* vibes.

25. Clear Storage Bins

Another essential on any college packing list. These clear storage bins are ubiquitous on college campuses because they’re lightweight and allow you to see what’s inside.

I especially like these stacking drawers — they’re perfect for closets or stacking under your (lofted) bed.

26. Shoe Rack or Organizer

I loved having a shoe rack right by my door — it made it super easy for me to grab my shoes and go every morning.

However, if you have a lot of shoes or you have a dorm closet with a door (check first), an over-the-door shoe organizer is another popular option.

27. Jewelry Organizer

Optional (see the makeup organizer at right that has space for jewelry), but if you have a lot of jewelry, it helps to get a specific jewelry organizer.

This jewelry stand is seriously SO cute. It has room for all of your necklaces, bracelets, and rings and it will look so cute in your room.
