I am moving out in about a month and a half to my dorm room in UVa.  I know the basic things to bring (bedsheets, microwave, fridge, etc.) but what are somethings that are often overlooked and forgotten??

You can never have too many sharp knives. Nowhere seems to have enough. They seem to get stolen a lot.

A broom.

Also, if I were you I'd invest in a nice tempurpedic mattress pad(doesn't need to be name brand, Target makes one too), they can run between 20 and 30 dollars, and they make a HELL of a difference to the mattress. Dorm beds are usually really shitty, just sayin.

Shower shoes.
Popcorn (great for movie nights, a fantastic conversation starter).
If you have a roommate, you'll definitely want to talk to her/him so that you don't get doubles of the big things.

Shower shoes, shower caddy, cleaning supplies, food, entertainment, a cooler for your laptop (if you have one), a phone (not JUST a cell phone), silverware and dishes...a lot of "home" items like that.

Anytime anyone on the floor made popcorn we were all immediately in their room trying to grab some, so it was nice at gathering everyone around, thus...conversations would start.

And you've never heard of using shower shoes in communal showers? Ew.

Shower shoes are a good idea because the public restrooms are gross.

Bring lots of paper towels/toilet paper.  Don't forget your phone charger!  Lots of shampoo and conditioner.

You can't get AIDS from communal showers so protection seems like a waste of money.

Ever heard of MRSA or Staph infections? You will get those easily in communal showers. Staph broke out in one of the dorms where none of them used shower shoes, and one of my guy friends contracted MRSA, he also never wore shower shoes.

I don't know what MRSA is but it doesn't sound like AIDS.
