so i am going to be living in the dorm next fall at JWU in providence.... and i was wondering if it is a good idea to label everything that you own because i was reading something about how you should label anything that you own, so i am think about putting my initals on my underwear label or is that just being weird and possessive???

I don't think you have to go as far as to label your underwear o_O

I actually didn't label anything I owned? I mean, what was mine pretty much stayed on my side of the room, and what was my roommate's stayed on his side of the room. You might want to label certain things that you might think people could easily mistake as their own. For instance, I put my name on my graphing calculator.

Anyway, it all depends on how your dorm people are - especially your roommate.

^ exactly.
my roommates are good, so we respect each other's things.
you can if you want to. there's nothing wrong with it.

my roommates put everything in their own drawers

but I guess if you have a communal shelf/fridge then you should probably label it
