Canes and Panthers- lend us your ears! You may already have the ball rolling with classes, however it's not too late to add some finishing touches to your dorm rooms, apartments and rental homes. After the jump, we've rounded up several one-stop and almost one-stop shops where you can go in with a budget and come out with a colorful array of throws, dinner ware, portable bathroom essentials and more for your new dorm.

We kept the selections as close to the University of Miami and Florida International University as possible, so you can squeeze your dorm room shopping in between classes and weekend engagements. We also chose stores that were as budget-friendly as possible, because who doesn't want a little extra cash for when you hit The Rat and Chili's? ? Let us know what you think in the comments, and feel free to let us in on any hot dorm room shopping spots you've found throughout your studies.
