Before you buy anything you should view the space that you will be staying in first. Ideally, talk with your roommate. One suggestion I would give to anyone going to college is to stay a night or two if possible, this way you can see what you really need. Until then bring the bare minimum. When are going to buy these organizational products will come in very handy.
Under the bed
Flip the bed to make room under the bed for cheap. Or if you want a loft bed you can get bed raisers and store items under and even put a desk or dresser for maximum space.
Plastic dresser
It is a great storage space to organize items. It can even serve as a nightstand.
Storage ottomans
Storage ottomans can be used for organization and double as seating.
Shoe rack
Investing in a shoe rack is a great way to organize your shoes and avoid clutter. Shoe racks are a great way to organize your shoes and are an efficient use of space!
Velvet hangers
Velvet hangers decrease space giving you more room for other organizing items and other organizing containers. However, the most budget-friendly way is to limit the amount of clothing that you bring.
Utility Cart
Most utility carts can fit in small spaces. They can be used for all sorts of items to fill your organizational needs.
Storage Trunk
A storage trunk is one of my favorite storage ideas. They are very durable, hold a ton of stuff, and can be used as extra seating when you have friends over. As an added bonus this can be used as a suitcase.
Bedside Caddy
If you like to do a lot of reading in bed this handy organizer may be for you.
Cosmetic Organizer
It doesn't have to hold only make-up. It can hold any small item that you want to organize. This item can be purchased cheaply from the dollar store or dollar general.
Investing in these organizational items will help to keep organized while in college, but some will be carried over to the first apartment.
