[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make sure to get twin (long) flat and sheet.  A blanket, pillow and a fan!

Maybe a robe, shower slipper, and caddy.

Then bring their usual self care and school stuff, plus a new water bottle.

All of this, plus an inexpensive mattress topper. Also a cheap nightstand with fabric drawers, a small lamp for that, a desk lamp, and two long surge protectors. Nothing remotely fancy. Including a few items of new clothing, I spent ~$400. [/quote]
never saw a college boy wear a robe. and never saw a college boy with a nightstand w/lamp. None of my kids' freshmen dorms could have accommodated a night - the rooms are too small for that. [/quote]

If they don't wear a robe, what are they wearing to and from the shower down the hall? [/quote]
are you from the planet earth? [/quote]

huh? [/quote]
I can't remember the last time I saw a human wearing a robe outside of a hotel spa or an advertisement.[/quote]

My dd loves her bathrobe - she has the same one at school that she has at home. Not because she needs something go walk through the hallway in, but because she finds it cozy to throw a bathrobe on right after the shower. My ds will no doubt do what he does at home - throw a towel around his waist and go. Def send shower shoes - mine just use their adidas slides. And I agree with most others re bedding - a good mattress topper, a waterproof mattress pad, threshold sheets from target and an inexpensive comforter that will wash well. A good pillow is key. Under bed storage. Don't send too. many clothes. And my kids like having a nightstand for books, alarm clock, water bottle.The poster who said send meds is absolutely right - I made a box of cold medicine, advil, vitamins, bandaids, etc. Came in very handy. Also the air purifier, fan and desk lamp are impt IMO.[/quote]
