JBL Live Pro 2 noise-canceling earbuds
A budget-friendly way to escape background noise
Moving into a dorm for the first time can be overwhelming. From sharing a space with roommates to deciding how many posters is too many to hang up, there’s a lot to think about when it comes to living in a dorm room. Out of all the things to stress about when it comes to college life, decorating your dorm should be the least of your worries. Whether you’re shopping on a budget or looking to splurge on new supplies, Amazon has some great dorm room essentials.
Some of these items are necessary — a laundry hamper and a shower caddy, for instance. But some are creature comforts, like a record player or a dorm smart speaker. We’ve got recommendations for decor (a washable rug! A USB lamp!) as well as smart basics including under-bed storage and noise-canceling headphones. Take a look and score some dorm essentials for cheap on Amazon. An online shopping spree could provide a first lesson on budgeting for the college student.
Want even more options? CNET has partnered with Amazon to select more than 60 other dorm room essentials that we recommend. The list is a mixture of products we’ve reviewed or personally tested, along with some promising household basics with high user ratings.

An inconvenient fact about dorm beds: they are generally twin XL size, which means normal twin sheets won’t fit. This cotton-blend set conforms to dorm sizing, and as an added bonus, it comes in a trendy cow print! Other prints, including plain gray and blue butterfly, are also available. The three-piece set includes a fitted sheet, flat sheet and pillowcase.

Outlets can be a scarcity in dorm rooms and there’s nothing worse than not keeping your phone nearby while it’s charging. Speaking from personal experience, having to sit near the nearest outlet while your phone is charging, rather than comfortably scrolling in bed, is awful. Long phone chargers fix the obstacles that lofted dorm beds and limited outlets raise.

Most dorms don’t have AC, which means they can get uncomfortably stuffy in the fall and spring. The solution? Vornado fans, which have a reputation for being powerful and reliable. This stylish table fan is small enough to stow away but big enough to circulate all the air in your room. Bonus points for the neat vintage vibe.

When you’re locked in your dorm studying (or coming back from a night out) there’s nothing better than a refreshing glass of water. Avoid drinking unfiltered potentially contaminated tap water by using a Brita. Simply fill your Brita with sink water and either put it in your fridge or leave it out on your desk and you’re set.
