Dorm rooms and college furnished apartments can be the pits but you don't have to let those cinder block walls get you down. Etsy has (mostly) all you need to turn your humble abode into the most interesting place on the hall. I recommend finding one of these and stocking up on good vinyl for starters.
I don't recommend using your typewriter to write your term paper. I do recommend displaying one on your desk. I'm a little bit in love with this one.
You can practice your French with these vintage books or just set them up in your new dorm for instant style.
I love this olive weekender as a school bag.
And this for English 101.
You can't go wrong in plaid.
For the classroom.
And be sure to have some wares in your dorm for a last minute picnic on the floor or an impromptu hall party.xoxo,
Rachel

That is so fun!! I wish I would have read this when I lived in the dorms 4 years ago. It would have revolutionized my experience in the dorms.
What a great post! :) Im about to move into my college place soon and even though its only for a few months, I think its SO important to personalise it :)

Lovely finds! :) That record player has my heart - too rad. What is it about school stuff that makes me swoon, so?? I think it may be the plaid. :)

Makes me want to head back to school just to get that typewriter :) a
those gray boots are adorable. and just my size!

AshleyAnn,
No way! Mine was so boring and looked like a boy lived there. I had a huge map on the world on the wall (kind of trendy now) and a dark blue bedspread from the same place (Bed, Bath & Beyond!) Mostly the dullest room on the hall. If only I had known then what I knew now! It's funny to me that that was about 10 years ago....yikes.
Oh ,y, I have that typewriter and it is lovely!
This is the first year in 19 years that I am not going back to school. WEEEEEIRD! Nice round up. :)
