Hope this helps you!

Hi jsreams -- Congrats on making the big step up. Have you been paired with a roommate yet, and are you in touch with one another? So much will depend on who that person turns out to be. Hopefully you'll share similar interests and design aesthetic for your space.

You are so lucky to be headed for higher education in the era of 3MCommand strips and removable stickie products. I remember filling a couple of nail holes with toothpaste and holding my breath for weeks expecting a bill to replace the entire wall, LOL.

Assuming a meager student budget, here are some possibilities just to get you thinking; make sure you personalize it to fit you. (I went to my parents' alma mater, so the photo is of them. I'm actually planning to shadow-box it similarly with a tennis sweater for my son's sports themed room.) And the lobster rug is indoor-outdoor, so easy to clean.
