Don't forget an iron & ironing board (the ones that stand a little off the floor---they don't take up too much space)
Going along with that, make sure you know how to iron!!! I couldn't believe how many of my friends didn't know how to iron...they said they just shake their clothes out and they're fine. I had to iron my guy friend's shirt for him before we went clubbing (that was the only time I agreed to do it!)
I recommend those plastic storage containers that easily fit under your bed...my bed's on cinder blocks and I have 1 container filled with random school supplies and then another with just my t-shirts.
I always bring a conainer of computer paper (never can have too much when it comes to English 101).
I also have a little tub for hand washing clothes...I have way too many delicate clothes that require hand washing.
Also bring a little hamper (I have the one that folds up easily, it's netted)...as well as a laundry bag to easily carry clean clothes to and from the laundry rooms...freshman and sophomore years I had a laundry basket for clean clothes but that takes up way too much room.
Bring a calendar and carry a small date planner with you to class.
Last year my mom had ordered me this big clear plastic thing that you can hang up on the wall. It has pockets for 4x6 pictures and then there are 2 rows at the bottom for 5x7 pictures. This is good if you're a big picture person as I am, because you can easily switch pictures without having to put tape on them. When my sisters saw it last year they all wanted one!
Also bring a LIGHTED makeup mirror for your dresser. A lighted one is better if you're getting ready a lot earlier for class than your roommate is (so you don't have to turn on the light).
