I think girls do.

Boys just seem to wear LOOSELY wrapped towels (or at least that was my experience on several dorm tours!)

Sounds right

She said nobody ever wore one. I asked my son if he ever saw girls wearing them and he said just the one girl from the deep South.

Don't over think it, but get her something. I know my mom did and I was glad to have it. If she doesn't use it, oh well. If she wants it, then she has it.

I was in all-female dorm, but plenty of times people had visitors over, including men.

Nope. You wear your towel or change into tank and shorts.

Yeah a lot of girls just change into a tshirt and shorts from what I recall. Our shared bathroom had enough room and some hooks, benches that people could change in there like a locker room.

OP here. Thanks all. I don't know if she'll actually use it but given co-ed dorms and co-ed bathrooms, it's conceivable to me that she might want one. The Ikea one sounds perfect.

DS told DD she should get one for school..on the definitely list.

Make sure they have sandals or flip flops to wear in the gross shared shower also.

No one did in my dd’s. They just used their towel.

My daughter really likes this one:

Hers is light aqua, which does not seem to be available now.

It is modest (not transparent) yet lightweight. Silky yet absorbent.

We got a cheap cotton terry cloth robe at Ikea

Did anyone find a reasonably priced (preferably cotton) robe for a freshman girl? We would love to find a terry robe that will stand up to lots of laundering for under $50. Thanks.
