Next, the Dorm Room. It’s small and cramped so there’s not much to do except try to make your student more comfortable as she or he burns the midnight oil. We have suggestions, and because all of them are available on Amazon, they can be shipped directly to your student at college.
Let’s start with the desk. While many students prefer to study in the library, it’s important to have a comfortable place to study in one’s room. Just in case.
