Calling all college students and recent grads! We want to hear from you about the best essentials you swear by for a dorm. All you need to do is fill out this survey and share your honest feedback about what you loved in your dorm. Did you have the most comfortable mattress pad ever? Tell us about it! After filling out the survey, you’ll be entered for a chance to win one of two $500 Amazon gift cards.

We know shopping for your first-ever dorm room is overwhelming, which is why Dorm Therapy is curating the ultimate guide to the best big-ticket items with the help of student reviews. We want real students and recent grads to share their tried-and-true favorites — from mini fridges to shower caddies to bedding. We’ll share your picks and reviews in the first ever Dorm Therapy Awards 2025 later this summer. 

Ready for a shot at one of two $500 Amazon gift cards from Dorm Therapy and Apartment Therapy? Fill out the Dorm Therapy Awards 2025 survey, and we’ll announce the winners later this summer. 

In order to make these recommendations the most useful to future college students, the survey has a spot where you can share the exact link of the product you used and a section where you can tell us why you loved it or how it could’ve been improved. Please fill it out completely for your chance to be entered for the prize.

Submissions close June 30, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. ET, and you must be at least 18 years old, and a current student or recent graduate to participate. We can’t wait to hear from you!
