<p>Yup def. get a mattress cover… and you can also use a lap top lock if you’re lofting your bed (it attaches to that)… lets see not sure if it’s been mentioned but you can use double sided tape to hang stuff… and you can get these rods at target that are like mini-shower curtain rods, that fit perfectly into the windows of Hecht and Stanford to hang curtains with… PB teen also has curtains that are long enough for those windows (Target’s curtains are usually too short)</p>
<p>Oh and the vacuums that you can rent for free in Stanford and Hecht are AWFUL… It takes a semester just to learn how to get them to actually do their job, instead of just blowing the dirt everywhere… maybe it was just me though? 
So I’d def. suggest getting a mini vacuum cleaner etc.</p>
