Chilly winter days are upon us, and you’ll notice your dorm room is colder than usual since many campuses struggle with inadequate heating. If you find yourself dealing with this issue, we’re here with some strategies that can help you keep your dorm room extra warm and cozy this winter.
Space Heaters?
Buying a space heater to combat the cold may be your first thought, but this is a slippery slope. It’s only worth considering if your college campus allows it, but keep in mind they’re often strictly forbidden due to safety issues involved.
Electric Blankets
Electric blankets have become a huge hit in recent years, and buying one can help you make it through the winter. Heating wires placed inside the fabric will help you stay warm and cozy when temperatures hit a new low.
Proper Bedding
Even if you don’t have an electric blanket, any warm blanket will do, and you should even consider using several layers. It’s also a good idea to switch up your bedding, opting for flannel sheets for extra warmth.
Proper Clothing
The way you dress in your dorm makes all the difference. Wear your warmest clothes when it’s super-cold outside, even several layers if necessary.
Block Cold Air
You should also consider blocking the cold air from coming in if your dorm is constantly cold. Check your windows and try to seal them if you notice there are cracks letting the cold air in.
