If you're heading to college [1] this Fall, its always best to start planning your big move early (and, let's be honest, you probably already are since you're so excited). Before moving into a dorm [2] and sharing space with another person, you'll want to nail down all the dorm room essentials [3] on your packing list. While items like bed sheets and blankets are personal, you and your roommate can divvy up bringing bigger items like futons and minifridges [4]. Just be sure to coordinate with each other, check school rules, and consider how big your space is [5].
