When you go away to college as a freshman, it is likely that you will live on your own for the first time. Some people feel like the college dorm room is a temporary living place that they just have to tolerate for a while.  They don’t want to spend any time or money fixing it up and they almost despise it.

This can be a bad idea because after all, you will be living there and maybe even bringing your friends and dates there, and it would be nice and feel much better if you fixed it up and made like home.  It really can be made into a comfortable environment for you and your roommates.  It may just take a little creativity, effort and time, but will be worth it to help you enjoy being there.  Whatever your situation, there are some things you can do to help your dorm room feel like home sweet home.
