I loved the dorms in college. You'll want a pail or basket for bathroom items, and I always wore a pair of rubber beach shoes in the communal shower.
I always had a microwave or toaster oven, and if I didn't have easy access to free ice and a cooler, I had a micro fridge for leftovers and beverages.
If you plan on getting to know anybody else, you might want a dry erase board for the outside of your door to leave messages... but cell phones have probably replaced this antique method

I am going to be living in a dorm this summer for only 8 weeks, but I have never done it before, so I have no idea what kinda stuff I will need. Any tips?
You may not think this, but you're the type that like to collect dishes and pintglasses (like I did in dorm)... a $200 portable dishwasher is a godsend.
Just don't get rid of your beer fridge or any other small appliances when you're moving around... It sucks when you have to buy them again a few years later.
Bleach.
Seriously.
College students are so disgusting when living in dorms. I have visited a friend's dorm and found mushrooms and fungus growing in the kitchenette on the first floor. *shudders* And the bathrooms...
If you're bringing valuables, like jewelry or electronics, make sure you have a way to lock them up when you're out of the room.
A Colt 45.
I know Glenn and KristinaB are kidding; guns aren't allowed in dorms.
