Sometimes dorm rooms can be a bit dirty, yes, even before you start living in them. So if that's the case, be prepared and come equipped with the right college supplies. For your dorm furniture, particularly your desk drawers and dorm dresser, have some shelf liner ready to start off fresh. Since you don't know how well those surfaces were cleaned, you can put down this liner to keep the dorm stuff that you store clean. Shelf liner is also a great dorm item since it'll protect those surfaces, too. If something rubs off on the inside of your drawers, you don't want to face a fine at the end of the year!
Shelf liners can also be dorm decorations! They'll help your dorm decor look the best it can, as even decorating and lining the inside of your drawers can improve your room's overall look. All in all, lining those drawers will be a decision you won't regret. And if you have some liner left over, you can cut out some and use it on a wall closet or some other surface to further add to your college decor. Who knew it could be such a multi-use dorm supply? Often, the best supplies for college are just that!
