Can Opener & Bottle Opener
$14.99🍳 Kitchen & Food Essentials
You'll buy a can of soup, get back to your room, and realize you have absolutely no way to open it. It happens to almost every freshman. A cheap can opener / bottle opener combo costs a few dollars and saves you from standing in your room staring at a sealed can of Chef Boyardee at 11 PM. Don't be that person.

What to Look For
- Check your dorm rules — some schools restrict appliances like hot plates and toasters
- Compact size that fits on a shelf or mini fridge top
- Easy to clean — you probably will not have a dishwasher
- BPA-free and food-safe materials
Pro Tip: Coordinate kitchen appliances with your roommate. One person brings the mini fridge, the other brings the microwave. No one needs two of either.
