A bedside caddy is perfect if your dorm bed is on the top bunk or even if you have a roommate and don’t want to disturb them at night.

This bedside caddy from Dormify is my all time favorite because it is non-slip, and it has multiple compartments so that it can hold all of your essentials.
This will ensure that if you are on the top bunk, you will have everything you need because getting down from your bed, especially at night, can be a hassle. Also, even if your bed is on the bottom bunk, this item is great because you won’t be disturbing your roommate by getting out of bed. (Plus, it’s just great if you’re feeling lazy!)

3. Desk Organizer
Since dorm rooms are usually on the smaller size, this means that your desk will most likely be small as well.
This can make it hard sometimes to study at your desk with limited space, so you will want to make sure to keep your desk clean and organized.
This is why a desk organizer is definitely an essential dorm item. If you are looking for the perfect one, this desk organizer has several compartments and even drawers to fit all of your desk items, from your iPad to your post it notes. Plus, it’s clear so you can find everything.
4. Desk Lamp with Charging Port
For those of us who have a roommate, a small desk lamp is a must-have item. This will make sure that you can still do work at night if your roommate is asleep.
If you need a desk lamp, I definitely recommend this one because it comes with multiple brightness levels, so that you will get just the right amount of light that you need depending on what time of the day it is. Also, it’s small so it concentrates the light where you want it, so it won’t disturb someone sleeping nearby.
