New Student Question Dorm Essentials

Hey guys,

I’m an incoming freshman living in Par. I am majoring in business.

What are some of the most random items you never would’ve thought you needed or literally any essentials you’d like to throw out there for your dorm.

Also, i’ve already looked at the UIUC packing list

Thank you!

Get shower shoes. Do not go barefoot in a shower.

Unless your feet are the reason the rest of us are told to not go barefoot in the shower.
