Moving into college comes with a lot of emotions. There’s the excitement of making new friends, the exhilaration of being away from home, and the thrill of learning subjects that interest you. But before any of that can happen, you have to get past moving day — and doing so can make you feel overwhelmed. Thankfully, Bed Bath and Beyond has made the transition easier by being a longtime dorm outfitter for coeds. It’s especially appreciated when it comes to bathrooms, since most of them tend to be more utilitarian than stylish. (And when you’re trying to feel at home, that doesn’t help.)
To ensure that your dorm bathroom is as comfortable and approachable as your bedroom, take advantage of Bed Bath and Beyond’s College Savings Pass, which gives students a 20% discount on purchases through September 21. If you sign up now, you'll have your pick of inventory and plenty of time to claim it before school starts.
Don’t be discouraged if you’re going to school far from home, either. Bed Bath and Beyond also offers a Pack & Hold service, making it possible for shoppers to figure out the items they need in their local store or online and then pick them up at the store nearest campus within 60 days of moving in.
The sooner you select the pieces that will add function and personality to your dorm bathroom, the faster you can feel accomplished enough to get to all of the other things that make college fun. Read on to get our suggestions for this space.
Cotton Towel Set
Your set of towels is an easy way to bring in some color to your bathroom, and this six-piece set has it in spades. The mod, graphic design comes in either orange and white or gray and blue, and is incredibly absorbent because of its woven cotton jacquard fabric.
Burst Sonic Electric Toothbrush
The first few weeks of school are full of opportunities to meet new people, and you want to make the best first impression possible. Get some help from this electric toothbrush, which comes in black, white and rose gold, with three different brushing modes to keep your smile looking and feeling fresh. The best part? It has a built-in two-minute timer, so you’ll know exactly when your mouth is at its cleanest.
Large Metal Mesh Stacking Drawer
Use this stackable metal mesh storage drawer to maximize space beneath a shared sink or create functional storage where none actually exists. A removable divider helps keeps contents neat and tidy, while the pull-out drawer makes it easy to access what's inside without having to rearrange the entire cabinet. One repeat customer shares: "We have these all over the house for storage under sinks and in cabinets. They hold a lot and are easy to clean."

There’s a good chance your bathroom will have no color whatsoever, so why not add it in the form of a neon shower curtain? The see-through design comes with colorful pockets, so everyone in your suite can claim one for themselves. And look at this sale price!
Wild Sage Shower Hooks
To add even more fun to your shower, use these stainless steel shower hooks to attach the curtain to the rod. The hooks have tassels that will stay on the outside of the curtain, so they won’t get wet.

Square footage is of the utmost importance in any dorm, and if yours is a suite, then countertop space in the bathroom is particularly coveted. Make sure you take advantage of your area with these stackable clear storage bins for your skin-care routine. The three-piece set has one large bin and two smaller bins, and can be wiped clean when needed.
