Picture this: a 12’x14’ room with two overly used beds and crummy mattresses, white cinder block walls that are always cold to the touch, and one overhead light that hangs from the ceiling. No, this isn’t your county jail. It’s your standard dorm room. In fact, I’m describing my first dorm room. There’s nothing impressive about your first experience with university housing- unless you know how to make it be more like home.

Seeing is Believing
Colleges don’t give you a prep list for actual dorm living. Sure they may suggest you bring a computer, lock, XL twin bed sheets, and an under-the-bed organizer, but did your school ever tell you how to make your room your room? I didn’t think so. So the real question that you should be asking is, what do I need to spice up my space? The answer lies with Google and Sony. The Sony Internet connected TV powered by Google is the most college-friendly television on the market. Like to watch TV and serf the Web? No problem. The Google TV can help you do both on the same screen! Like to play PlayStation 3? Hook up your PS to any one of the four HDMI ports and you’re instantly playing in full 1080p HD resolution!

Hearing is Believing
Now what about your iPod? There’s no way you can expect to throw a bangin’ party with just your computer speakers. The sound won’t live up to your high-energy environment. So you should ask yourself, what do I need to make my iPod sound awesome? Look no further than the Geneva Model S. It may look like a simple speaker, but inside is a system packed to the top with versatility. Place your iPod in the built-in iPod dock, and operate the Model S by simply tapping the ultra-sensitive TouchLight menu. And when it’s not in use, the menu all but disappears so the exterior finish is sleek and polished. With the Model S, music, even at low volumes, will always sound clear and vibrant.

When you’re trying to study, or simply trying to find a way to escape the stress of college life, the Solo Beats by Dr. Dre are the headphones to turn to. Packing your music with rich vocals and a bass full of energy and punch, the high-performance Solos deliver sound quality way beyond their size. And because they’re designed by a recording artist, the Solo Beats on-ear headphones introduce music lovers to the way artists want their music to sound. Say it with me, no more earbuds!
