Usually, desks in a dorm are very simple, with a drawer or two. Having a way to organize the textbooks and other things on top of the desk helps make it easy to grab when packing your backpack or studying. Reaching out to campus life. They can tell you what the width and depth of the desk are standard in their dorm rooms. Below are some I found on Amazon (affiliate).

BATHROBE:

Another organizing college dorm item is a bathroom. The reason why this is on here is that you will most likely be sharing a bathroom down the hall or in a suite. I prefer Terry Cloth Robes like this one against my skin. This item helps if you do not have a bathroom in your suite and have to walk down the hall to take a shower.  It helps you dry off completely before getting dressed.
