When you picture your perfect dorm room, the first word that comes to mind is…

What would you most regret NOT having in your dorm?
Your roommate asks how you handle stress. You say:
The Cozy Nester
Your dorm is your sanctuary. You'll invest in soft textures, warm lighting, and a few personal touches that make it feel like home — because that's what keeps you energized all semester.
The Focused Scholar
Your dorm is a productivity hub. A clean desk, a solid chair, and everything in its place — that's how you do your best work. Clutter is the enemy; organization is the strategy.
Your best starting points:
The Smart Minimalist
You know what you need and what you don't. Every item earns its spot. You're not here to impress — you're here to graduate. Efficiency and value are your design principles.
The Tech Optimizer
Your setup is a command center. You care about cable management, charging speed, display quality, and audio — and you'll spend time getting it right once so you don't have to think about it again.
