[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unused:  hand soap (we thought she might need her own during Covid—threw out unopened after 2 years); top sheet; extra set of sheets (already had at home so luckily, did not purchase).  Most other stuff was used.  Ugh Slippers, which I thought she would not want, are beloved and especially came in handy during a middle of the night fire alarm/evacuation.

DD went minimal and purchased a bit at stores nearby, then ordered stuff online.  She did not do the whole theme thing, but ordered posters and little framed prints of things she likes.  It’s all small and portable.  She does have one giant bolster kind of pillow that we got on Amazon.  She uses it a lot for working on her bed (leans against it).  No throw pillows, etc[/quote]

Did not use a top sheet?[/quote]

Do you have an actual college student who does?  My kids hate them.  Just set up college grad in first apartment.  Bought only bottom sheets, pillow cases and 2 blankets.  They hate comforters as well---and blankets are much easier to wash without them falling apart (and boys are not likely to deal with a duvet cover)

Yup!  Much easier to wash a sheet then the whole comforter and if the room is warm they just take the comforter off.  I assumed this was almost universal...which is why sheet sets have 3 parts.[/quote]

Oh, we use the top and bottom sheets at home as adults.  I agree it is much easier to wash the top sheet than the full comforter/duvet cover.  however, the kids complained so now they dont use top sheets and just use blankets which are easy to wash (vs a comforter or duvet cover).   It's their choices as teens/early adults.  As long as stuff gets washed I don't care :-)
