Even if you're dishing up most of your meals in the dining hall, you still need the basic kitchen essentials in your dorm room. Here's what you'll need for quick breakfasts, late-night snacks, study sessions and more.

Dorm room space is at a premium, so movable furniture is key. That's why we love this rolling, open storage: It can be moved around the room, and you can steal a shelf for beauty essentials or office supplies when your kitchen stash is running low.

Game night won't be the same without a big, communal bowl of chips, pretzels or popcorn. Choose one in durable metal or melamine to minimize breakage risk.

Clear glass or plastic storage containers help keep cereal and other essentials fresh. Another bonus? They take up less space than boxes do, and add dorm room style to boot.
