Most likely, you won't be able to travel far from home if you forget your passport or driver's ID. Any other documents you must have on you when you're back to your dorm? See the checklist to ensure all is packed.

#2 Electronics

Thank goodness, we don't live in the middle ages, so it's hard to imagine a student's life at uni without electronic items. Still, it's possible you can forget someting while rushing back to the dorm. So, what are the must-take electrical items apart from your laptop and smartphone?

#3 Kitchen Items

Now, you may not be the next Jamie Oliver, but you still have to cook while at uni. Taking loads of kitchenware isn't necessary, but there are things on the list that can make your life easier.

#4 Bedroom Essentials

Having a good rest is important if you want to study well. Even if you don't you still need to have something to sleep on. Obviously, a basic set of bedroom essentials will be useful while staying in the dorm.

Obviously, these are not nearly all the things to take to dorm. Follow Typical Student to learn what other things will be useful while living away from home.
