Bedding and Linens
Linens
Every year, our goal is to ensure that every student arrives with the correct size XL sheets on move-in day. This bedding can be difficult to find, so we encourage students to plan ahead and purchase properly sized bedding that is guaranteed to fit and last throughout their college experience.
Students may also want to consider pillows, blankets, and other essentials needed for their new residence hall room.
