Why You Need a Rug on Your College Dorm List: Advice from a Senior

Dorm floors are notoriously cold and uncomfortable. As a senior who’s lived in three different residence halls, I strongly recommend adding a rug to your dorm list. It instantly warms up your space, muffles noise from neighbors below, and provides a cozy spot for floor studying or when friends visit. Pro tip: opt for a dark color that hides inevitable coffee spills and choose a washable material. Your feet will thank you on those early morning walks to the shower.
