I have to disagree with BUBailey. While you will have lighting provided, I think a desk lamp is a really good addition. Having less florescent lighting of your own can be a nice touch. I think most students, especially girls, do bring a desk lamp with them to supplement the BU lighting situation. I got a small one at Ikea before freshman year. That being said, a table is unnecessary. West rooms have a desk and dresser. If your daughter attends orientation, she will be staying in a room in West. That will help her see the closet situation.

I suggest getting bed risers as well. A higher bed provides nice storage space underneath as well. A printer is up to you.
