A major transition to make for college was that of adjusting to living in a dorm room with a total stranger. My bedroom back home was decorated the way I liked it and contained all my personal belongings. There was actually enough space for all my things to fit. Space efficiency becomes a survival tactic in college. You have to cram all your things into a small room plus those of your roommate.
