Why Tissues Are Essential for Your College Dorm Room

As a senior who’s lived in dorms for years, trust me – tissues belong on your college essentials list. You’ll need them for inevitable homesickness tears during those first weeks away. They’re also crucial when dorm floor viruses spread like wildfire through shared bathrooms and cramped living spaces.

Beyond sickness and emotions, tissues are a dorm room essential for cleaning surfaces, handling food spills, and being a good neighbor by offering them to others. Get the good ones with lotion – your nose will thank you during finals week stress-crying or winter colds.

Pack at least 2-3 boxes to start. Put tissues on your shopping list between twin XL sheets and shower caddies. Your future self will be grateful.
