When it comes to your dorm room, you’re soon going to find out that you’re going to need a lot of items, and many of them you’re going to forget about, including a dry erase board.

Why should you get a dry erase board?

Instead of writing note, after note to your roommate, or writing down “to-do” lists, it’s a great way to communicate with your roommate, and yourself.  What you’re going to find out is that it’s relatively easy to write something down, and it’s even easier to let your roommate know what’s going on, as well as writing down important dates, such as a test, etc.

Below, are the top 4 dry erase boards that I would consider for your dorm room.  They should fit your budget, and you will find that it will fit into your dorm room style quite well.

• Board Dudes 11×14 Metalix Magnetic: Great for writing, creating charts, and leaving messages.  Comes equipped with magnets, and the dry erase surface can also be used as a bulletin board.  Everything is included, when you’re looking to mount it.
• Board Dudes 24×36: The “Board Dudes” brand is fairly popular, and if you’re looking for a bigger board, this one is for you.  It comes equipped with 4 dry erase markers, 4 clips, 4 magnets, as well as an eraser.  This whole pack can be yours for less than $50!
• Universal Office Products 36×24: This highly rated white board is very large, roomy, and will look great in your dorm.  It has a very high qualify write-on/wipe-off surface, and will accept all types of dry erase markers.
• Board Dudes 18×22: This last one is one of my favorites, in terms of the look, as well as the rating.  This has a unique style to it, where many people won’t even realize it’s a white board.  Works great with all markers, and erasers, and well as mounts really well as well.

These are the top 4 magnetic dry erase boards that you should look into, when you’re ready to purchase one.  Each one has it’s own style, and quality to it.  It’s up to you to figure out what kind that you want for either your dorm, or office.
