I just basically skipped to this page, but take heed to my advice, as I lived in a dorm last yr. Our building was 7 floors, I stayed on the 6th. I actually would break it down like this:
Room; lysol(spray the mattress before you put your sheets on it). I'd get atleast 3 cans of this. If you're rooming with someone I'd atleast wear socks or something on my feet as some roommates @re trashy bastards. Keep your 1/2 of the room clean or organized. For clothes I'd bring a few of the mesh bags or laundry bag for your dirty ish, some bleach/detergent and some fabric softner. Your other basic stuff, i.e. clothing, electronics, etc is all up to you, just don't bring too much shiet like clothing(I made the mistake of bringing all my ish just about and didn't even wear about 1/2 of it).
Bathroom/Hygiene: Most important part, get some FLIP-FLOPS. Mofo's were so filthy in our community restrooms it was sickening. Make sure to bring plenty soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. If you stock up on it it's better b/c you'll find yourself using it up fairly quick(you'd be surprised to see all the nasty mofo's who stay on your floor so you'll want to NOT be one of them). Make sure you bring some type of lysol wipes or something to clean your pooper before you sit on it, THIS IS REALLY important.
Um this is basically all I could think of, but it's pretty much the basics. Unless your school is full or **** or you're a wimpy fool then I don't think you'll need a string on your soap(unless you like to *accidentally* drop the soap). Get out, don't stay in your room 24/7 playing games, computer surfing. You'll wanna click up with your roomate if he's not too gay/weird then ya'll just go around campus meeting new peoples, females in particular. Get out and go to parties, this is the best time to meet people, get drunk man, you'll get more ussy this way, just STRAP it forreal. LOL, other than that have fun, be safe.
