Do you ever sit on your computer and stare at Pinterest dorm rooms and wish yours looked like that? Obviously, it is hard to make possible while you are paying for rent, groceries, textbooks, and tuition, which all leave little room for the fun stuff. Brent Szklaruk-Salazar and Andrew Roth, two freshmen at Vanderbilt University, had the same problem. They wanted to trick out their dorm room, but were conformed by the college budget. When you look at Amazon, Target and Best Buy there are so many options for products, but the price tag stirs you away. That's why Roth and Szklaruk-Salazar decided to create the company College Tech. Essentially, College Tech is an easily accessible marketplace for college students to find affordable and quality dorm room essentials.
Below is a list of some of the amazing items you can find on their website. There is a variety of products for both boys and girls and the products can really help transform your small space into something really homey.
1. Bluetooth Speaker.
I don't know about you, but my roommate and I love listening to music if we are just hanging out or studying. The YCCY Portable Speaker is the perfect affordable speaker to be able to jam away at some tunes, but not have to pay a fortune.
2. Rope Lights.
I have one string of rope lights in my dorm room and I love them! They are clean, stylish and add so much to the room. I wish I had known about College Tech while I was dorm room shopping because I paid $30 dollars for mine! At College Tech, the 3M Battery Powered Flexible Party Rope is just $5, and just what you need to add some light to the dark, hallow dorms.
3. Diffuser.
Living in a small room with another person where you sleep, keep your dirty laundry and food can get pretty stinky. Also with no air conditioning, at least for me, can get a little overbearing at times. That is why the USB Ultrasonic Humidifier is the perfect addition to keeping your dorm room humid free and smelling good.
4. Neon Lights.
I've had LED Neon Lights in my shopping cart over and over again, but could not bring myself to buy something that is $100+, that I might not even like in a year. When I saw that College Tech had LED Neon Lights for as low as $14 dollars, I ordered some right away.
5. Mac Converter.
We all know the struggle with the new Mac Computers. There is nowhere to plug anything in and if you want to buy the converter its $50+ dollars, which is ridiculous. Thanks to College Tech, they have a Mac Converter for only $2!
5. Headphones.
I am the worst at keeping track of headphones. I don't want to waste money and keep buying new ones when they are so expensive. Luckily the PTM M3 Earphones are only $7 at College Tech.
6. Computer Vacuum.
I eat, sleep and breath with my computer. My computer goes through and much as I do and I never know how to clean it. Thanks to College Tech, they have a USB Laptop Cleaning Vacuum that can clean up all the guck and grime in between my keys.
7. Light Projector.
Do you want to make your room stand out? Well, it can with the Novelty Night Light Projector. It can light up your boring dorm room by projecting the consultations right onto your ceiling. A unique and awesome way to deck out your room.
8. Christmas Tree.
The last, and my favorite is a dorm Christmas tree. The Dorm Christmas Tree is a perfect way to decorate for the holidays and make it feel more like home. I already have this ordered and ready to set up for the holiday spirit.
