If you can spring for noise-canceling headphones in college, they can grant some serious peace of mind. Things get noisy on campus, whether the people living across the hall are throwing a party or students are simply talking too loudly in the library. These Bose headphones have up to 24 hours of battery life on a single charge and can toggle between Quiet and Aware modes for ideal listening in any setting.

Promising review: "We bought these for my college aged daughter for her birthday. They are amazing! I didnt realize you can use the quiet mode even without any input audio. They literally put you in utter silence! Audio input sounds incredible, too. She loves these for going to sleep in her sorority sleeping room, studying, and listening to music." K. Robben

If over-the-ear headphones aren't your thing, AirPods Pro will be more up your alley. Not only are they a must for listening to music, podcasts and meditations, but the noise-cancellation feature can help you decompress from the constant noise of campus. Users have also reported that they have a really long battery life, are comfortable and stay in firmly place.

Promising review: "I bought a pair to replace my regular airpods I lost. These are soo good I am amazed. You hardly notice them in your years yet the noise cancellation and sound is so good. And the fact they pause when you are talking is just so intuitively convenient. Highly recommended. Big upgrade from the regular airpods for not much more $." Geoff Fitch

With three modes clean, white and gum care this rechargeable electric toothbrush can do everything you need for exponentially better oral care than a manual toothbrush. It's even got pressure sensors to detect when you're pressing too hard, offers a two-minute timer so you can be sure you're brushing long enough, and has a two-week battery life per charge. This set includes the Philips Sonicare 5300 machine, a charger, one G2 Optimal Gum Care brush head, a travel case, and two replacement DiamondClean brush heads.

Promising review: "This brush was recommended by my hygienist. I like the timing feature by quadrant and the travel case provided. It took only a short time for me to get adjusted to using this electric toothbrush vs. a regular brush and I realize what a much better job this brush does." Pat M

Some dorm showers are simply beyond saving, and even the ones that look clean shouldn't be walked on barefoot. Joomra's non-slip shower slides, which come in eight men's and women's sizes and 16 colors, have a comfortable 1.7-inch thick sole and are slightly concave to protect the whole foot (and keep it away from bathroom floor germs). They're also a popular staple among college students, according to some reviews .

Promising review: "listen, I don't usually write reviews but this one had to be written. I am a freshman in college was looking for new shower shoes bc my old ones sucked. they had holes at the bottom to let the water drain, but that also meant that every time you put weight on the shoe, water would come up from the floor. my dorm's shower is beyond disgusting so that was a no for me. My roommate had a shoe similar to this so I thought I'd give it a try.

Bro, these shoes are amazing. They are amazing for the price and put you far enough off the floor that you don't worry about anything touching you. Brilliant." Emma

It's a big deal every time this air purifier goes on sale , so don't miss your chance to snag it this time. It's equipped with a HEPA filter, a handy indicator light to show you the air quality, and impressive filtration that can refresh up to 1,095 square feet of air every hour (AKA, great for suite- or apartment-style living with multiple roommates). Reviewers especially love how quiet it is while it's running. With many dorm buildings known to be old and stuffy, this purifier is a good investment for the next few years of college living and potentially even after that.

Promising review: "I am in love with this machine! Purchased this item because I have horrible allergies and this year in particular they have been really bad. Also because we have pets and found mold in our house (cleaned up). I have noticed a considerable difference after having this machine and running it daily. My husband walked into the house the other day and said Wow! It smells like a spring day in here. Like you have all the windows open. Everything smells so fresh! It has a nice sound and even has an option to make it even quieter (I like the white noise). I love the air quality indicator. Its just awesome! Highly recommend!" Matt and Hannah Heden

Trust me when I say a handheld vacuum is a gamechanger for keeping your room clean, especially if it's cordless and allows you to reach in all those impossible crevices behind your bed and desk. This Black + Decker option comes with a rotating nozzle, extendable crevice tool and flip-up brush to really suck away all that hair, dust or crumbs from midnight snacks in bed. It's also lightweight and portable, meaning it won't take up a ton of precious room in an already cramped dorm.

Promising review: "I use this in my dorm room and love it! It works so well; all my friends come over to borrow it. It is small enough to store in my tiny room, which is great. Very powerful but not too big. College dorm room essential!!" Alana Sheppard

Yes, a coffee maker is a bigger expense up front, but with how many trips to the campus coffee shop it can save, a real coffee-loving student would easily get their money's worth out of this purchase. It comes in three colors, can brew 8, 10 or 12-ounce cups in minutes, and is even travel-mug friendly (up to 7.4 inches tall) for those inevitable "running late to class" mornings.

Promising review: "My daughter, who is a broke college student, loves her coffee! She was spending too much money at Starbucks so I sent her this coffee maker. It brews great-[tasting], single serve coffee in seconds. She has created her own specialties and is now the go-to person in her dorm for coffee!" Susan hansen

If an Amazon Alexa device is already on your college shopping list, you'll want to add this smart plug to your cart as well: From coffee makers to fans, lamps or those fairy lights that all college students seem to have in their dorms, this plug allows you to turn on and off so many household devices through voice control with Alexa. You can even set up automated everyday routines with Alexa to make life that much easier. And don't worry about sacrificing two outlets for this smart plug its short design ensures you'll still have room to plug something into the other outlet.

Promising review: "The Amazon smart plug is the most useful item I have ever bought, it really makes my life easier. I live in a college dorm and have a pedestal lamp 2 meters from my bed to light up the whole room. Before I bought this smart plug I had to get out of bed or off the furniture to turn off the lights on the lamp so I could sleep, but now I can lie in bed watching TV and just ask Alexa to turn off the smart plug and all the lights turn off quickly and conveniently. I like that the smart plug comes with an off/on button because when the internet fails I can turn it off and de-energize everything directly without having to unplug it. Connecting and setting up the smart plug with Alexa was very easy and only took less than 5 minutes." Linda M.

These Kasa smart plugs have passed the test of former HuffPost editor Janie Campbell. Similar to the Amazon plugs, these are easy to set up and you can set schedules or timers to turn household devices on or off. Unlike the Amazon ones, these also work with Google Home voice control in addition to Alexa, and also have their own Kasa app so you can control your devices remotely even if you're not home.

Promising review: "I love these things. We use them for turning on fans and lights. Anything you can plug into one it can control. Kasa app is very good and these hook up easily to Alexa." R. ODonnell

A speaker always comes in handy in college, whether for parties, hanging out on the lawn or quad, or just for playing background music in the dorm (or even in the shower). This speaker is waterproof, dustproof, has 10 hours of battery life and, according to reviewers, can get impressively loud. You might be surprised to learn, then, that it only weighs about half a pound and is 1.8-by-3.4-by-5.3 inches, small enough to clip onto a backpack. It comes in 10 colors and can connect to a smartphone with Bluetooth.

Promising review: "I bought a pink one for my daughter for college and she loves it! She loves it so much that I bought my son a black one for Christmas! She goes to college at the beach and uses it there, in the dorm, in the bathroom, everywhere! This is the best portable speaker! I broke down and bought one for myself! I use this speaker all the time. It is perfect size and the sound quality is amazing! Our family is sold on this amazing speaker! Now, my mom wants one!" K. Smith

Whether for washing or drying dishes or cleaning up inevitable spills in the kitchen, these biodegradable and reusable dishcloths are one way to both make cleaning easier and make dorm life a little more sustainable. They come in eight colors, can absorb up to 20 times their weight in liquid, and can each save 15 rolls in paper towels, according to the brand. And once they get dirty, you can just toss them in the washing machine or dishwasher to use again.

Promising reviews: "I tried these as a more sustainable option for paper towels. I have a set that I use as napkins and another set for cleaning. They work very well and are durable and easy to clean. They also came with the sweetest handwritten note! Ive told all my friends about these and I love to include them in housewarming gifts. They are a must have for any kitchen." Alissa Melroe

Instant Pots are a major time and effort saver in the kitchen, and this one works as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, steamer, saut pan and food warmer. The 6-quart model is great for cooking for roommates and friends, or meal prepping for the week ahead with easy one-pot meals. The pot also comes with the Instant Brand's Connect app, which has over 800 recipes to try.

Promising review: "Bought this for my college-age daughter. She loves it, and uses it nearly every day, making everything from oatmeal to rice to soup to main dishes. It is quick, and cooking meat from frozen takes only a few minutes longer than starting wth thawed meat. She can come home, toss a meal together, take a shower, and the meal is ready. Or, plan ahead, put the meal in in the morning, put it on timed slow cooker, and the meal is ready when she gets home. I'll have to get one for myself!" Squeaky

Unfortunately, not every dorm is blessed with air conditioning but before you run off to buy the same Lasko box fan college students have been using forever, take a look at this sleek oscillating tower fan that takes up less space and is higher tech. Equipped with four speeds, an eight-hour timer, a remote control and 90-degree oscillation to cool down the whole room, this fan will get you way more bang for your buck. Reviewers especially love how quiet it is it comes with a sleep mode so you won't be kept awake by the fan.

Promising review: "My college house doesn't have any AC and during the summer it would be around 80+ degrees in my household including humidity. It was so muggy and we are only able to open one window in our living room. My roommates and I purchased this fan and it is soooooo much more comfortable in our living room now. It is so quiet that we have accidentally left it on all night because we forgot it was on to begin with. The remote control is so easy to use! Highly recommend getting this fan!" Simone Wolff

A mattress cleaner is a must for starting the school year, both because the bed has probably been gathering up dust all summer and because you never know what the room's previous inhabitant did on that twin XL. This vacuum cleaner has a purifying HEPA filter, a UV sanitizer and a double pulsation pad with high-frequency vibration and suction to agitate and get rid of all dust and dirt. The 13-foot cord also makes this easy to use on sofas in the communal area, rugs and even car seats for students taking their cars to campus.

Promising review: "THIS is a household essential if you care about dust and dead skin cells all over your furniture and beds. I was just blown away when I looked at the filter after just vacuuming my sheets for a minute! Like wow, I could actually see the dead skin on the filter.

This item is one of those that I didnt know I needed until I tried it!!! Its a very powerful well made vacuum and I love the simple and safe design. It has roller wheels on the bottom that if they arent pressed down the UV light will not turn on, as a safety feature. The cord is nice and long, and the button to turn it on and off is located on the top, it is easy to hold and use, and the filter is also washable and comes with a metal screen pre-filter that goes over the HEPA filter! This is super handy to have for cleaning couches, pillows, car seats, mattresses, and any upholstery!" stacy renee

This pick might seem out of left field, but for a college athlete or a student who spends most of their days hunched over a desk or table at the library, this mat can provide some much-needed back and neck pain relief. The cushioned mat and pillow are covered in thousands of therapeutic acupressure spikes that massage pressure points. The mat is 51-by-19 inches, small enough to fit on the floor of most dorm rooms but wide enough to support your full back, and comes in 11 colors.

Promising review: "I was skeptical to buy this but after it trying it once, I was convinced. I lie on this 20 mins a night before bed and it helps me sleep so deeply. Perfect acupressure and has helped ease my sore lower back. Highly recommend." Julie Dabuet

Even college students deserve a little luxury. This warmer can fit two bath towels, one throw blanket, or even a robe and warm them for up to 60 minutes before it automatically shuts off (no dorm fires here). Just imagine the coziness of bundling up in a warmed throw blanket during the winter especially for students studying in colder climates. The warmer comes in six colors and holds an aromatherapy fragrance disk that reviewers describe as a clean, citrus scent.

Promising review: "I adore cozy blankets and towels. My most favorite thing to do after washing towels and blankets is to pull them straight from the dryer, smell and then wrap myself in them. This towel warmer allows the same experience but is conveniently located right next to my bathtub!

I can't even begin to express how much I loveeeee having that warm towel after coming straight out of the shower and bath. You can also put your PJ's and sleepwear in the warmer and even blankets (as long as it's not too huge). I hate being cold so this towel warmer is an absolute godsend! So what I do is, while getting ready to take a shower, I turn on the warmer and place my towel or clothing inside. By the time I'm done everything is nice and warm and being covered in heat at the end of the shower is the most amazing thing everrrrr! Loveee this! Buy it, you won't regret it!" FoXyAF

This air purifier won't be interrupting any study sessions according to reviewers, it's so quiet that you can't even hear it when it's on a low setting. You can buy this in three sizes, depending on the size of the room you want to use it for: small, medium or large. It cleans air in minutes, and has a simple one-button control for easy adjustment of the fan speed. While an air purifier might not seem necessary, college campuses can be like petri dishes when cold and flu season comes around, so it's worth it to have one.

Promising review: "Bought for a smaller space (kitchen and living room), roughly 400ish sqft, and this has dramatically improved the air of our apartment with two potty training puppies. Odors are gone within minutes regardless of the source, except for food being cooked in the kitchen which I think is a huge plus. It's quiet mode is [insanely] quiet, and it's loudest setting is audible but nothing compared to a dishwasher, air conditioner, or washer dryer. Finally feel relieved when we get home instead of disappointed and grossed out." Tirius

Sometimes one or two smart plugs isn't enough for the amount of devices you want to control, especially for students in a small room or those stuck fighting with roommates over the limited amount of outlets. That's where a power strip can come in handy this one works the same as the other Kasa smart plugs above, except it has six outlets so you can plug in and control even more devices through the app. Just make sure to check specific dorm rules, since some colleges are strict about the kinds of power strips allowed in the dorms (generally, they need to have surge protection, which this one has).

Promising review: "My wife seen me installing Kasa Smart Switches in our house and decided to buy this for her office. I wasn't aware this even existed but am happy it does. Using the Smart Actions I'm able to turn on/off the specific plugs related to her space heater, coffee heater, and heated blanket in order that they only run while she's there while leaving online the plugs for her laptop, monitor, etc. I suppose I could even shut the monitor off also to conserve more power. It's working perfectly and I highly recommend it." Terry C Thillemann

If you have your own private bathroom, not having to share a bathroom with an entire hall of people can have its perks. But it does often mean being stuck cleaning the toilet instead of campus staff doing it for you. This three-in-one kit makes the unenviable task way easier, though, thanks to its wand, caddy and six disposable scrubbing pads preloaded with Clorox cleaner (so you don't have to buy it separately).

Promising review: "I bought this for my daughters college suite. It is easy to use and cleans better then a brush. No splattering and you dispose of the pad when done. Works great and I will buy again." K. Beck

This Wet & Forget shower cleaner makes dealing with the grime so much easier, especially for freshmen who are new to the whole "cleaning up after yourself" thing. As the name implies, you just spray it on once a week, leave it to do the work for you overnight, and then rinse when it's time to use the shower again. It comes in two scents (fresh or vanilla) and has no bleach, dyes or ammonia.

Promising review: "I have one of those builder grade wrap around shower stalls. It has a lip at the bottom where mildew (or mold, I'm not sure) would build up. I did a deep clean to rid my shower of this and now I spray this product after every other shower on the door and each wall and that mildew has not returned. It is not heavily perfumed or the type of strong that makes the eyes water nor is it harmful to the shower stall material. I love this product and have recommended it to friends and family." Angelia
