Dorms and college apartments are small and usually don't have all of the comforts of home. Let's face it; the huge microwave, crockpot and fridge just won't fit with the 60-inch TV, Xbox One and laptop.

But there are some gadgets that will pull double, or even triple duty, and will help you get through the school year.

3 Squares Tim3 Machin3 is a counter top cooker that is a rice cooker and slow cooker that will also make yogurt and quinoa oatmeal.

The Anova Precision Cooker will cook a steak while you "study." You just need a pot, water and Ziploc bags. It also has Bluetooth that hooks up with your phone's app.
