It did not take too long for me to realize that the aesthetic of my room was the least of my worries. The biggest problem that I faced, that many college students face, is limited storage space. Especially, if like me, you have one or more roommates, storage space becomes a scarce commodity.
This is where Residence Hall Linens (RHL) comes in! RHL is an online retailer that specializes in college dorm essentials. They sell everything from guaranteed fit sheets and linen to cute pillows and throws, all of them guaranteed to last until graduation. I once heard that the average years for a college student to graduate in the US is six years, so we're talking about some high quality products here!
But lets talk about storage! Before college, when I had my very own room, I didnt care about "storage solutions." My closets and drawers were filled to the brim, and I had knick knacks scattered on every available surface. But in a dorm room, that is a thing of the past. With Residence Hall Linens, you can take full advantage of what little space you have.

I cannot stress enough how essential this laundry hamper is. I still use one to this very day even though I have an apartment now. This laundry hamper from RHL can hold up to 60lbs of dirty laundry so that you dont have to spend so much money on constant laundry. It may look big and bulky, but it is actually collapsable so you can store it away when not in use.

Great ideas! I didn't have any issues with this because I was in my own apartment when I went away to University and had my own kitchen, washer and dryer, living room etc. But I know that some dorm rooms are small so you have to be creative.
ReplyDeleteI live in an apartment now too, but I started college in a cramped dorm room with a roommate.
