My sister, Marlie, is heading off to college in the fall. Michigan State University is SO lucky…plus I’m happy she’ll be living closer to us 🙂 I seriously don’t know how she is old enough for college already. I swear she was just in 5th grade!
Since it’s been a while since my dorm days (*cough* 14 years), I thought it would be fun to check out what’s available now. I honestly don’t think they would even let kids live in dorms like I did. I was on the 11th floor of a super old dorm that had all sorts of critters. That being said, I met some of my BEST friends in those dorm walls and wouldn’t trade those times back for anything!
In 2002, we brought a shower caddy, Twin XL sheets and a comforter. Oh, don’t forget a HUGE Dell desktop computer. I remember being excited about 24/7 internet–no more dial-up AOL! Does AIM even exist anymore?
Now things are a bit different. People actually decorate their dorms nicely, creating a home away from home. I can’t believe there are so many techie gadgets. You can download this from At Home. Aside from a great shopping list, they’ve also included some super helpful move-in hacks
Have you visited the yet? They have ALL of your home needs, with rock bottom prices. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I stepped in the store. Aside from dorm essentials, you can find awesome gifts for weddings, showers and more! I love their motto “Tuition might be expensive, but your decor doesn’t have to be”.

Do you know someone heading off to college? What’s on their list?
Mmm, yep – I remember those days! I lived in a dorm at UM from 2005-07. The space was small but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything :). UM still has some pretty small freshman dorms too, room-space wise, so maybe AtHome would help with that.

I haven’t seen that store before. I’ll definitely need a list by the time my kids go to college – I never lived in a dorm even when I was attending college!
