For kitchenware of all kind, I'd recommend a goodwill-type store. Cheap and quirky.
Personally, a table and 2 chairs would be nice for work/homework/dinner. I got a folding set at Target for $40 a while back; I have a nicer wooden set from craigslist for $60 now.
From experience, you're better off buying a real mattress for comfort. People can sit on it when they visit, especially if you have some cushions that make it appear a seating area during the day. I am perfectly happy with the mattress on the floor, no boxsprings or frame, but having it higher off the ground would make it more comfortable for seating during the day.
Do you need a dresser? If you have a good-sized closet, you may be able to use something like this instead for anything you can't put on hangers -- I found some for around $5 at Target recently.
Hanging Tops
Dresses
Pants and Skirts
Sweaters
If you have room for a shallow bin or two, you can fold underwear and socks so that they are filed and easy to grab. It just takes more effort beforehand. I recently reorganized my drawers this way and it freed up so much space and made everything more organized.

Another idea is to have these hanging shelves somewhere: http://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-6351-1234-JAVA-Organizer-Collection-Accessory/dp/B001KMRZ0U/
You can buy bins and then consequently organize your underwear and shirts like the previous video shown.

Only hang what you need to, like suits, dresses, and jackets.
You won't have room for anything extra other than perhaps a fan (definitely bring one) and a lamp (again bring one). Get something like this for your closet. Did you have anything specific you wanted to bring?
Taller and slimmer laundry basket, and for the clothes up on the top shelf you could try putting them in one of these hanging shelves and storing bigger items on the shelf, such as suitcases, extra pillows, or the sewing machine. I would also consider a laundry basket with a lid to keep any odor contained in the dirty clothes, and not sinking into the fabric of your clean clothes.
If you don't like the look of those hanging shelves, you could try replacing your plastic drawers with this style of furniture that you can often find on craigslist or at a thrift store if you don't want to buy new. Obviously double check the dimensions of it to make sure it would fit. Then you can store things in a square basket and it keeps things feeling and looking tidy.
The towels could also be hung on over the door hooks to keep the doors from getting damp.
I actually use something like this to hold all of my clothes, except for my shirts which I hang.
Cheap and efficient solution if you have some spare closet space, one of these hanging shelf things. I live in a condo with limited space but a surprisingly large closet and have my yarn on one of those, works like a charm.
Get a metal frame that sits up high. Put stuff you own under it, in a closet (clothes in a hanging dresser) or on an end table. Throw out everything else.
If you don't want a small room to feel cluttered you have to have less shit :D
I have the same philosophy as you both. I have one giant reusable bag with my stash in it and frankly, I feel like it is too damn much. I plan on buying something similar to this to organize it so I can see it and organize it by weight because it really bugs me having it all crammed together. (Thanks to whoever it was that recently posted the idea!) In the past month I've gone on a couple of trips and of course I had to buy some yarn; I bought some pretties without a project in mind and now it is really bugging me. What if I find the perfect project for it but I didn't buy enough?! What if I only need one skein and now I have two? I don't want matchy things and I don't to give away gifts that are hand-wash only. Sigh. Life is so hard.
I'm probably in the minority here, but I am not a huge fan of these systems, as there is so much wasted space! I have no problem putting a dresser in a closet. We have 4-drawer dressers in two bedroom closets.
All of our current closets and pantry came fitted with basic Closet Maid wire shelving, and that's fine with me. We have canvas or fabric sweater and shoe organisers and some boxes that fit in the sweater one. I use banker's boxes or plastic storage bins on the upper shelves. I also make use of doubling rods, basically a short closet rod on two long hooks, so shirts can be hung on upper and lower rods.
btw, if you are set on a closet-shelving system, check your lease, and verify that you can remove it when you leave. Some leases require that anything attached to the walls becomes the property of the landlord. This protects them from having huge holes left in the walls.
If that is the case, be sure that the system you choose will leave only clips attached, which you would leave behind while taking all the expensive pieces with you!
