5 Bathroom Essentials for First-Year College Students

Moving into a dorm for your first year of college brings many adjustments, especially when learning how to share a living space. One of the biggest changes for first-year students is sharing a communal bathroom. To help you navigate this new experience with ease, The Dorm List has provided a list of five essential items to keep your daily routine as organized and comfortable as possible!


  1. Shower Caddy

A shower caddy is a lifesaver for any first-year college student sharing a communal bathroom space. A good shower caddy is easy to carry, keeps your shower supplies organized, and prevents damaging water buildup on your favorite products!


2. Shower Shoes

As a first-year student learning to share a communal bathroom space, it’s important to be mindful of germs. Shower shoes protect your feet from potentially dirty surfaces so you stay healthy and happy while navigating dorm life!


3. Robe

While sharing a dorm bathroom with other students, its common to have to wait your turn for a shower. Why not stay comfortable and covered while you wait with a reliable robe? The Dorm List recommends robes made of soft, quick-drying material for your convenience!



4. Toothbrush Cover

Just like in the shower, first-year college students should always consider the cleanliness of the sinks in the communal bathroom. Keeping a cover on your toothbrush ensures that your oral hygiene routine will always remain safe and sanitary! 


5. Extra Towels and Washcloths

As a college student sharing a communal bathroom, you can never have too many extra towels. Stocking up on this bathroom essential will ensure that you’ll always have some on hand for guests and those unpredictable dorm-life moments!
