If you're moving into a dorm, get ready for a shift in the way you cook. Sure, you'll be able to eat meals at the cafeteria — but there will also be times when you'll want to create your own meal in your room. Given the, uh, compact nature of most dorm rooms, that means you'll need to maximize space and get a little creative in your meal making.

That's where a few smart buys from Bed Bath & Beyond come in. Priced right for college students, these essentials allow you to brew great coffee, prepare midnight snacks, and generally open up your options beyond the school's meal plan. Keep reading for suggestions on making your dorm-room kitchen (or rather, kitchenette) a little more useful.
