The Roommate Horror Stories thread is starting to make me a little nervous, as is the fact that I'm leaving for freshman year of college in less than a month. I've started getting stuff for my dorm and all that, but here are a few questions anyway:
-What would you recommend getting for a dorm?
-Any tips for getting along with roommates?
-Any other tips in general?


A shower tote with all your shower stuff. Maybe even a little stool if you want to sit down in the community showers to shave your legs.
A couple dishes including a knife to cut cheese so you can make some food in your dorm.
Someplace to lock up valuables if you (unfortunately) don't trust your roommate.
Lots of space-saving things, like drawers, or things to fit under the bed, things to hang up necklaces, etc.
