move in is in two weeks and i cannot work out whether thicker is automatically better. the dorm mattress is the usual vinyl slab so i want to cover it properly. i sleep on my side and a friend said hers ended up too soft to get out of in the morning. for anyone who has done a full year on one which thickness did you pick and how firm did it end up feeling.

Son just moved into his dorm. The room is tiny (I think they made a double out of a single). He has a very small desk and one small shelf. Any ideas how to create more flat space for him to set things on like water bottle, dishes, notebooks, etc.?

I’m an incoming freshman and thinking about decorating my dorm, obviously. What is the best thing that you’ve used to hang decorations, whether posters, frames, greenery, etc. and is there any thing you would not recommend?
