7" bed risers are nice. my room mate got those 25" inch ones and those were crazy tall. i think desk lights are great, esp if your room mate is sleeping but you want to study - it’s a nice little light. A hanger jewelery organizer is really nice ( [Amazon.com: Household Essentials 01943 Ultra 80-Pocket Hanging Jewelry Organizer: Home & Garden](http://www.amazon.com/Household-Essentials-01943-80-Pocket-Organizer/dp/B0010XX7ZQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1306959452&sr=8-3) ) also, a toiletry drawer is also nice ( [Amazon.com: InterDesign Rain 3 Drawer Large Box, Clear: Home & Garden](http://www.amazon.com/InterDesign-Rain-Drawer-Large-Clear/dp/B004U4NPX6/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1306959486&sr=1-4) ). you are not technically supposed to have water boilers but a lot of people sneak them in and it’s super convenient for tea, instant noodles and many other things. air wick is also nice. hooks for towels that you can put on the walls. i’m just listing things here, sorry.

You don’ really need a printer. You can always borrow from a friend and there’s free printing at the computer labs in the COM building (right next to Warren, near CAS). Also you get 100 free sheets to print per semester. If you print double sided that’s considered 1 sheet. After that it’s 5 or 10 cents per sheet but it’s not that bad, I actually didn’t even use up all of my 100 sheets.

And like Versii said you will always leave with more things than you came with. As a college student you get a ton ton ton of free things and of course buy things on the way. Also since it’s still pretty cold after winter break you can’t even really bring all your winter clothes back home with you for break =/
