The dorm was probably the thing I liked most about school my freshman year. The food wasn't great, but I went to the University of Texas, along with 50 thousand other people. Talk about mass produced. Anyways, here is a list of things I would recommend. You will find that the other people in the dorm will have things you need and will normally share them with you. I made a lot of friends that I still keep in contact with.
Fridge - necessity for when you are sick of cafeteria food. Keep water, beer, etc.
Some type of stereo / jambox- you dont need anything big, because you wont be able to turn it up loud.
Fan - we didnt get to adjust the temp in our room. Nice to have when it was warm
Ear plugs - even girls snore; also, you might go to bed earlier than the roomie
Computer - bring it if you have one. It is easier to use than having to go to a lab somewhere
stuff for the walls - the room WILL be plain. It is really boring to look at a blank wall
If you havea community bathroom, bring a carrying device for your stuff.
There are alot of other obvious things, but the above listed things were most important to me.
