Sometimes when students find an apartment that suits them, that is to say a distance not too far from the school, space becomes an area that's compromised. If the place you end up with is small, don't worry. I too ended up with a small space, so I had to think outside the box.
Here's a Tip:
T.V. trays oftentimes make the best coffee tables or desks, especially since they're small and take up less space. Unfortunately, t.v. trays are not exactly in vogue, and when you find one, it may be covered with a horrible print, circa 1978. Go to Hobby Lobby, or somewhere similar and look for contact paper. It's very cheap and easy to use, but it can change the entire look of a piece of furniture. There should be a large selection of prints, including neutrals or bright colors. Pick a tone you have in your apartment and don't be afraid of patterns. As long as the colors are in the same family, you'll be fine! The trays are great also, because you don't have to have them out all the time. They can be folded up and tucked away.
Always keep your eye out for treasures. Even if they look junky, everything can usually be fixed up. Don't look at objects for what they are, but what they can be!
(The same contact paper can be used in the bottoms of your drawers and cupboards if need be)
