Why Pack Extra Shampoo: A Senior’s College Essentials Tip

As a senior who’s lived in the dorms for years, here’s why shampoo should top your dorm room essentials list: The communal bathrooms get chaotic. Between forgetful floormates constantly borrowing supplies and your own frequent showers after gym sessions or all-nighters, you’ll go through shampoo faster than expected. Plus, bulk buying saves money and eliminates emergency runs to overpriced campus stores. When planning your college essentials, I recommend packing at least 3-4 bottles to start. Your future self will thank you.

The best part? Extra shampoo bottles double as perfect doorstops – a vital dorm room hack when you’re trying to meet your neighbors during move-in week. Trust me, you won’t regret overpacking this particular item.
