Heading off to college after high school can be stressful and even scary. In addition to being prepared for classes with the right accessories, books and tools, any college-bound student needs to ensure their dorm room is well furnished.

It depends on the college your kid is attending and what kind of accommodations the school offers, but there are several essentials you can consider getting for your kid to furnish their dorm room and ensure they’re good to go once school starts. If your kid’s dorm room isn’t furnished, they’ll have to provide their own bed, shelves and desk. A few other things worth considering are nightstands, dressers, TV stands and even decorations to make it can add a cozy touch.
