A dorm room is small, shared and often without air conditioning. These fix what students complain about: a curtain for the bunk, a fan, a lamp for late reading, earplugs and a mask for a roommate’s hours, a single-cup coffee maker, a printer for the night before a deadline and a backpack that lasts four years.
