Now I seek advice of people - preferably other girls - who have lived in one on how to outfit my dorm room.  I will shell out the extra cash for a single, unless the medical-reasons thing goes through or I get the Junior/Senior Incentive stuff; either way, I'd get one for free.  In any case, I will have no roommate to second-guess me and my taste or fill up my valuable space with her crap.

I'm not a girl, but I have lived in a dorm room (same room for four semesters). I actually prized portability in my dorm furnature. I rearranged my half of my room (a split double) about twice a semester. The other thing that I sought was ease of cleaning (what little I did neede to be as easy as possible in order to get any of it done) and lastly storage space. I did have a close, but it was barely big enough for my clothing, so I had to use as much of my verticle space as possible (stackable drawer/trunk units and shelving for the hundreds of dollars of books that I "needed" each year. Although I had a desk, I found that I didn't do much work at it, mostly because it was built into the wall and the workspace was too small. I actually spent more time reading on my bed, or working on my laptop facing out the window than I did doing anything on the desk.

My first suggestion would be to find out what furniture will be provided to you, and what will be needed. From there, consider additional seating, and storage. Good luck to you.
