Dorm Upgrades For College Students

Many college students think that their dormitory should be bland, and that they couldn’t do much. Well, of course you can’t make major renovation, but that doesn’t mean you should spend your entire dormitory life in a boring room.  

So, here are some things that you might want to do. These are easy upgrades that college students must try in their dormitories.  

Smart Speaker  

We know that you already have a lot of friends and you can talk to them nonstop. But if you want to add one more, we recommend that you get a smart speaker. At least you can always say, ‘Alexa, how to write a good essay.’  

At least with this, you can get instant answers. These smart speakers are usually compact, so it’s not going to be an obstruction in your small room.  

Essential Oil Diffusers  

Essential oils are becoming a big hit because of its health benefits. And if you aren’t using one, then we recommend that you get yours. It’s ideal to promote quality sleep as well. As we all know, it can sometimes be difficult to sleep in a dorm room. Perhaps, getting your oil and a diffuser could help. These aren’t expensive and if you choose the right product, it could last you for years.  

Smartphone Projector  

In most cases, you are not allowed to bring a huge TV monitor in your dorm room. However, watching from your small screens isn’t too enticing. The best idea right now is to get a compact smartphone projector. At least you can have a movie-like experience every weekend. This could save you a lot of money from tickets.  

Coffee Maker  

Most of the time, you can bring small appliances to your dormitory. We recommend that you take your coffee maker with you. Just imagine waking up every morning smelling coffee. It could certainly wake you up, and that’s always a fantastic way to start your day.  

Electric Hot Pot  

How about a hot soup during the cold nights? You don’t have to go out and buy your ramen. You can just do it on your own with your own electric hot pot.  

Smart Lighting  

If your dorm’s light is just too plain, then you can always upgrade it. What we recommend is that you get something that you can easily adjust to your needs. If you need something bright, then just go full blast. If you wish to relax more, you can have it dimmed. Also, you can adjust it perfectly for studying.  

Mini Fridge  

It’s always good to have a cool beverage whenever you are studying for the entire night. So why don’t you buy your mini fridge and have unlimited supply of healthy smoothies or fresh juice. Of course, you can always prepare your own meals, keep it in the fridge, and save a lot of money by not eating out every single time.  

Organizers  

Since you only have a small space, getting organizers isn’t such a bad idea. You can place it on your desk and fix your school supplies. It’s not just to make your room look neat. It’s easier to function when you know where you placed all your stuff.  

And since we are already talking about organizers, you can also buy the ones that you can hang on the wall or on your chair. You need to maximize every space so that you have more room to roam around.  

Nice Full-Length Mirror  

You’ve probably read this a thousand time, but mirror is always good if you have a small space. It’s a great way to make an illusion that your room is bigger. Plus, at least you can check yourself before you go to your first class.  

Noise Cancelling Headphones  

You might also want to buy a noise cancelling headphones, most especially if you have a dormmate. Of course, you can’t be sure if you will have the same schedules. Perhaps, they need to stay awake for the entire night to type a report. Or maybe, your roommate snores so bad. To get quality sleep, noise cancelling headphones could be the solution.  

What’s good about this is you can use it while travelling or if you are studying in a nearby coffee shop.  

You see, the place you live in can affect your mood, your thoughts, and even your actions. So, imagine if you are living in a nice room. You could study well and become more productive.
