$39.99💻 Study & Tech
Dorm rooms typically have two, maybe three outlets — for two people. Your laptop, phone, lamp, fan, mini fridge, and chargers all need power. A surge protector with 8–12 outlets and a long cord is basically essential infrastructure. Get one with USB ports built in and save yourself even more outlet space. This isn't optional.

What to Look For
- USB ports or USB-C compatibility for charging multiple devices
- Compact size that fits on a small dorm desk
- Durable build quality that survives being tossed in a backpack
- Energy efficiency — dorms often have power limits per outlet
Pro Tip: Label your cables and chargers with washi tape or a label maker. In a shared room, it is easy for things to get mixed up with your roommate's gear.
