[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)

Top sheets are not like underwear -- they're not the mark of a civilized human being. We use a bottom sheet and a duvet with a duvet cover and wash the bottom sheet and cover. I hate top sheets and have never used them -- they get tangled up. There's no point as long as you're washing the bedding that touches your actual body.[/quote]

LOL. I would make a bet on my DS *never* taking off the duvet cover to wash it, but I'm not sure who would take the other side of the bet. I personally would hate to have to take a duvet cover off and put it back on weekly.   I think there's at least a chance that he will wash sheets, since he's used to doing that at home. [/quote]
