Hello. I thought I'd add that you can still add fragrance to your room and avoid a fire hazard by using scent fans and diffusers. Both of these methods can provide a nice fragrance to freshen up your room without the danger of setting anything on fire. I sell Partylite Products myself, so I know that their brand of scent4u fans and diffusers work very well. However, I'm sure many companies make similar products. www.partylite.biz/NicoleRene

I would suggest adding a mini iron and ironing board :) They're great and you can find really cute ones at Ikea!

Also, a robe and shower flip-flops for girls living in dorms with community showers. You don't want to get caught walking down the hall in just a towel.

It's good to have a proper plan. These items are essential for dorm living.

Well said.. A person should be organized if he/she wants a more comfortable way of living and most specially if you are a dentist, you don't want to let your tools lying around somewhere right?
