[quote=Anonymous]It wasn’t such a thing at my daughter’s school (not in the south) but she definitely did pick out some stuff to make it cozy.  She ordered a shag rug on wayfair and I did order a mattress topper because I was worried she wouldn’t sleep if the mattress was terrible (it was like $99).  She got sheets and a comforter at Target.  She brought some lights and wall decoration from Target and ordered a couple more things from Amazon (some prints for her wall and I think a throw pillow).  We went to container store when we got there to get her a couple storage bins and she also picked up a couple small fake plants.  The big splurge was a really large curved monitor she bought with her summer earnings.  She picked it all herself in consultation with her roommate — they ageeed on a basic color scheme so it wouldn’t clash too bad.  If I was going to splurge on anything it would be a better desk chair but then I don’t know what they’d do with the chair they gave you anyway.  We helped her get it all set up the day we dropped her off — we were basically done by lunch and then left.  It did look cute and I think made her feel a little more comfortable to start the year.  Other than the monitor the most expensive thing was probably the drawer thing we bought at container store but she really did need that — they gave you four drawers but it was a cold weather school so by the time you put jeans, sweaters and such in there, there was no room for underwear, socks, menstrual supplies, gym clothes, etc.  The rug was the only thing I thought was frivolous but as I said it was cold there so I think she wanted it for the floor.  I had predicted it would be disgusitng by the end of the year but apparently these young kids are very respectful about removing shoes before walking on your shag rug!  In my day someone would have puked on it for sure.[/quote]
