Post pictures of your dorm room!

To those that live in self catered dorms, you have to share a kitchen with other people, right?
So what about if you buy food and put it in the kitchen fridge or something and someone else takes it?

Sadly, this happens pretty much everywhere. I've been quite lucky this year, all people seem to have taken are a couple of fish fingers and a few eggs, which was annoying but it wasn't the end of the world! All you can do is write your name on everything you keep in the fridge/freezer so people may be less likely to steal it.

I deliberately avoided putting food in the kitchen because i knew this would happen. there's one guy in particular who moved in and never used his own pans and plates who was very selfish when he cooked. We just ignore him now, but i'm very glad i keep all my cooking stuff in my room...

It's not bad, it's not amazing either but the bathroom is quite a bit larger than I expected If you go for ensuite you get a REALLY small kitchen and no communal area. My flatmates and I bought two cheap rugs and cushions and we just sit in the hall so it's okay for us.

You make the person realize what they did was wrong. Don't be afraid, some people just don't know what's socially acceptable.

I'm not at uni, but I just wondered lol Coz I would imagine it'd be really annoying if people done that!

...thats 1990's era Army issue furniture, no joke, my brothers and i used to have many a fun time jumping over it playing the floor is lava ..robust stuff, but the key for the chest of drawers always ends up lost.

I've just been shopping for some bits and bobs for uni and it's really sinking in now! can't wait!

This basically.

I've been really thrifty too! I got all my plates, bowls, mugs and sideplates in a 16 piece set for a tenner from poundstretcher! They actually look really nice and they've got multicoloured stripes on them so I'll know they're mine (following the advice from people on here).. Then I went to argos and got my multicoloured cutlery for £2.99 and the colours actually match by some lovely accidental coincidence ...

I started to worry about myself a little when I got excited about a tin opener though..

I think all I've really got left to buy now is my bed linen, decoration stuff, a few bits and bobs clothes wise, a bathroom bin, a mirror, saucepan, frying pan, a big sharp knife, a dictaphone, computer speakers, a pink cocktail mixer I've seen maybe 1 or 2 other things..

It was my son's 18th last week so we got the extended family to buy Uni stuff for him. He now has all his kitchen stuff apart from a tin opener and a corkscrew and all his bedding / towels The various aunties and grannies went to Ikea for the day and apparently had a great time. Beats random well intentioned junk from ageing aunties! Did up a list from the freshers list on TSR and gave it to his grandmother to pass around the family. Saves me a small fortune as well Also means that it's all boxed up and organised in the attic which should save on the last minute 'oops can't find it' syndrome.

Apparently it's a good idea to take a doorstop or something you can put in front of the bedroom door (bearing in mind they're normally fire doors in halls) so that you can be more social. I guess I could probably just put a chair or something there but I'm on the look out for a nice heavy doorstop.

HAPPY NOW?!

]It's ridiculous how much stuff we need!
