As a highschool graduation gift i was given a toolbox which was crammed full of a bunch of this essential stuff. it was a way to keep it organized and reduce the space used in the dorm since they are usually small. I would recommend getting something similar, though it is not essential to have some kind of box for the important/random stuff.

I misread this and thought there were forum posters from TL that you had in your room and were gonna pack up with you to move.

shower sandals, will buy there
nails/pushpins for posters, they only let us use poster putty, will buy there
baby powder for shoes, ??
laundry detergent, will buy there
quarters for laundry mat, can do there, lol
power strip (maybe 2 if you both use a lot of electronics), yessir
linens, check
usually a good idea to get a space organizer for your closet (like stackable shelves or something of that sort, since usually closets are small), will look into
scissors, part of school supplies, will get there
floor rug is usually a good thing to have, do you recommend this heavily? i didn't get one of the ones they install cause i don't think we need it, but i can always grab something for the open part of the floor we'll walk on, but not under the beds
stuff to clean bathroom/room with (duster, toilet cleaner, small bottle of bleach, etc), done for us, thankfully
ethernet cord for internet maybe router, i think all we get is a cord, actually. no routers allowed in my dorm, free wifi around school. i'll look into a splitter
school supplies are usually a good thing to bring, so you don't have to worry about them when you are at school the first few days/weeks before it starts. i'll get it in chicago, post flight but before move
headphones/earbuds, i need new earbuds, headphones is np, I have my siberiav2
bed stackers (those things you put under bed posts to raise the level of bed I used them and it helped a ton because i could fit a lot of storage under my bed), my beds are raised, but my roommate and i are doing bunks, at least for a bit
buying an external harddrive is a good idea, i could use this
if you and roommate like same music a sound system would be a good thing (but only if you like same music or you would get annoyed at eachother when the other is listening to music you don't like.), should be ok without, we'll have a TV if needed
movies/dvds you like to watch, on HD
maybe a few good books, textbooks are so expensive T_T
nail clippers, YES lol
shaving equipment, not much facial hair, but ill get razors there
alarm clock, phone
duct tape, will buy, but i hate duct tape after making a fucking boat
screw driver, hammer, will i really need this?
printer, free printing at computer rooms, fuck buying ink
flashlight, will take into consideration
sports shoes (if you play any sports), got my running shoes
lighter, uh o_O
candle (even if you don't use it in any "romantic" way, it can help keep room smelling fresh, calender, bookshelf. this i'll do, though maybe just a regular air freshener

Dishes and stuff if you aren't getting a meal plan from the university.

Pretty much whatever you want to bring, you should. As long as it isn't a ridiculous amount of stuff. I don't have that much stuff so I didn't have a problem deciding. You don't seem to have a lot either so I would say everything but that's just me.

I take it you are going to a university far away from home without most of your friends with you. It's a fun, new experience. gl.
