Three college students in a dorm room Off to College Dorm life can be the most fun—and most challenging—time of a college student's life. Making the most of those years is important, and everything from decorating to keeping that tiny space organized and well managed are cruicial elements to success. Don't forget, there's more to dorm living than just the room itself. Staying healthy and strong both physically and mentally is fundamental to the equation! And while letting go of your teenager can be tough as parents, embracing your child's new home away from home makes all the difference to a new student.
