Dorm Furnishings and Lighting Advice for New College Students
The guide outlines essential dorm room items like bed, dresser, desk, chair, and lamp, plus optional touches such as draperies and rugs. It stresses planning with roommates, checking room dimensions, and choosing glare-free lighting to reduce eye fatigue.
