The link above is very useful and would also suggest a few other items:
- A long Ethernet cord. Wi-Fi can be spotty at times in the older dorms so having the ability to connect a different way could be very useful! There are outlets in the dorm rooms. Make sure the cord is long so you can use your laptop on your bed, etc.
- A fan is mentioned on the Case list so just a couple of observations - most dorms don't have AC so a fan is important. Cleveland can be pretty warm & humid in August & September so fans are important! On the flip side, when the weather gets cold, the dorms do tend to be very warm once the heat kicks. Really heavy bedding probably isn't needed.
- Like many college dorms, the mattresses aren't very thick. Adding a thick mattress topper (2-3") improves the comfort and you'll get at least 2 years out of it!
