Will a smart speaker work on dorm WiFi?

Most modern dorms support smart devices. Check if your school requires device registration on the network. If the dorm WiFi blocks smart devices, the Echo Dot still works as a Bluetooth speaker.

Should I bring a printer?

No. Campus printing is cheap and available. A printer takes up valuable dorm space and the ink costs more than campus print credits.
