It’s time for college students to begin fall classes, so we thought it would be good to compile a list of gadgets for college dorms and apartments. The obvious ones, like smart phones, laptops, iPads and calculators, aren’t listed here because we went for the fun and unique gadgets instead.

•The Elite Cuisine Multi-Function 3-In-1 Breakfast Center is a coffeemaker, toaster oven and griddle all in one. Great for those late-night study sessions, some frozen eggrolls or a short stack of pancakes in the morning before class.

•The Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker will wake you up after that late night of studying so you don’t miss that important exam. It has a maximum sound level of 113 decibels, and if you put it under your mattress it also will shake your bed.

•CordaRoy’s Beanbag Beds are beanbag chairs that convert into a spare bed. They’re great for reading and relaxing, and when a friend visits and wants to spend the night you’ll have an extra bed.

•The Fridge Locker Personal Food Security System will keep your groceries and snacks safe if you have to share fridge space with roommates. Get one and you won’t have to worry about an 800-pound grizzly bear getting your food.

•The Wi-Fi Detector Shirt will help you monitor your wireless connection in your dorm room and around campus. The shirt lights up to indicate when you have the best signal strength.

•The Hot Diggity Dogger hot dog maker is a great complement to the Breakfast Center, giving you a way to make fresh hot dogs for lunch or dinner as easily as you make toast.

•Stash Safes from DormGear.net let you hide money, credit cards and other valuable in a fake Pringles can, stack of CDs or a flowerpot.
