I don’t know where you’re going to be going to college, but if you’re going to be staying in warmer climates such as Arizona, or Texas, you may want to bring a fan to your dorm, especially if you’re going to get there in August.  A dorm room fan is not only going to cool down the room a little bit, you may find that the air conditioning isn’t really up to par in your room, and it may be hard to sleep at night.

Fans for your dorm room are small, compact, and get the job done.  The nice thing about them is that you don’t have to spend $50, but instead a few dollars instead.  Here are a few fans that you should check out and consider for your room.

Lasko 40-inch Elite Wind Tower: When it comes to standing fan, this is the best of the best.  If you look at the picture, you have probably recognized this kind of model before.  It cools the room off by almost 5-10 degrees.  This fan comes with three quiet settings, a electronic timer, and a remote so that you don’t have to leave your seat to change the settings.

Lasko 3450 Cyclone Floor Fan: This reasonably priced fan is great for those looking for a decent sized fan that fits on the floor.  This Lasko model comes with 5 20 inch blades, 3 speeds, a remote, and an electronic timer as well.  This fan will run you a little less than $35.

Zippi Desk Fan: This little fan sits on your desk, and cools you off beyond belief.  You can take a glance at it, and you’re probably thinking that there’s no way something like that can cool you off.  Take a  look at the Amazon reviews, and you can decide for yourself if it’s something that you want.  The fan head adjusts, and comes with 2 speeds for your own comfort.

Vornado 530B 3 Speed: This small Vornado brand fan sits nicely on any desk, or table.  This whisper quiet fan comes with great air flow, and is backed with a 5 year warranty.

If you’re in need of a cool down in your dorm, or even your home, these are the top 4 that I would highly recommend.  Check them out,  and see which ones would work best for you.
