They may be the littlest things, but you should bring things with you that make you feel more at home. Stuffed animals, CDs, movies, and pictures are a good idea. There are also things that are necessities too, such as extra pillows, garbage bags, and a refrigerator. When living in a dorm, you will find yourself picking up new habits. The majority of students say that their newest habits are staying up much later than they used to and sleeping a lot later to compensate.
College is the land of insomniacs.
Some other habits include wearing shoes in the shower, sharing everything with others, coping with less privacy, and surprisingly an increase in cleanliness tp keep down the mess.
