The Command strips are perfect for a college dorm room. Dorm rooms are boring and dull and the walls are the ugliest color, it is like living in a jail cell! However, my college recommends bringing lots of 3M Command strips to hang things on the walls and brighten up the room. I think that I had to continue to buy strips throughout the whole year to keep up with all of the things that my roommate and I would add to hanging on our walls. We had the most decorative walls in the dorm!
