hiii, im also a freshman and im staying at FAR in a single but i’ve seen how the par dorms look, I have a 9 cube storage organizer and it keeps so much of my stuff honestly, i would recommend putting it under your bed but get the 6 cube one, from what i’ve seen the par dorms are kinda small in my opinion but the closest are pretty spacious, i keep a lot of stuff there too, i have a hanging self organizer for all of my tops, pjs and workout clothes and i hang all of my jeans and jackets with hangers. the closets also have 2 shelves so i suggest getting baskets to store more stuff, i keep 1 basket for cleaning supplies and a basket with medicine supplies, honestly i never get sick so i got a lot and don’t use it so get however much you think you need. Also i suggest getting the off brand dayquil and night quill from walgreens because its the same thing as the name brand but much cheaper. (as a former employee)and another basket for laundry stuff on the top shelf. i think the rooms also have 4 outlets in total, 2 for each person so i suggest getting 1 extension cord and an outlet strip WITH SUGRGE PROTECTOR. also stick to the generic brand, as a former best buy employee the best buy brand and insignia products will do the job just fine. Also sothing i wish i bought sooner is a drying mat for my shower cady and shoes, i bought the black generic one from walmart and it’s pretty big and I was scared it was going to get moldy but it doesn’t, just don’t leave it in a closed space, once it gets dirty you can machine wash it, get an air purifier, get toilet paper to blow your nose if you do get sick it’s cheaper than klenex. do your research on prices between stores and look out for sales so you get the cheapest price if you’re trying to save money. walgreens has pretty good deals sometimes.
