Dorm Bed Sheets
Picking the sheets for your new bed is an important step in planning your dorm room. You need to be sure that you get the correct sheets for your bed, and that they match your chosen decor.
Sheet Size
Your college will provide details about what size your bed will be. Normally this will be Twin Extra Long. The reason for this is that it's the smallest size bed that will fit most people.
Finding Twin Extra Long sheets may be difficult. When I was a rising college Freshman, most of my local stores did not carry this size. Your experience may vary. Check around at your local department and home stores to see if they have what you need.
If you cannot find your sheets locally, then jump online. There are plenty of places to buy sheets online in any size you need. You'll probably also have a much better selection buying online, which could be a big plus if you're looking for a specific color or pattern.
Dorm Bedding Decor
Now would be a great time to talk to your future roommate about your dorm room decor. You may be into death metal and black lamps, but that doesn't mean your roomie for the next 9 months is too. Save yourself the trouble and have a chat about your decorations and color scheme.
For some, (read: guys) this isn't going to matter. My roommate and I did no decorating at all, except for a F-15E poster on my side of the room, and a M1 Abrams poster on his side (I'm in Air Force ROTC and he's in Army ROTC, if you hadn't guessed). This worked fine for us, but it might not for others. Even you guys might want to coordinate what posters, and furniture you each bring.
No matter what kind of sheets you choose, make sure they are durable en0ught to endure a years worth of dorm living. And yes, you will need to wash these every now and then.
