 what kind of furniture that she will need?  Most dorms have basic furniture.  Anyhow, I went to lots of thrift stores to see what I could find.  I got lots of good stuff for little money so that when school was over, it was easier to replace that stuff or pass it on.

I have seen ads for Target that has things for dorms.  Not really sure what they have, but I'll try to find out for you.

I think that this is actually why there are back to school sales going on so early.... It's more for students moving away from home to go to college. Most stores (eg Target, Walmart, Kohls, Best Buy) will have back to school sales that feature dorm furniture.

My daughter just finished her freshman year at college. In her welcome packet that was sent out last July was an advertisement for dormitory packages that include sheets, liners, a comforter, pillow cases-basically everything that she needed to move in. I think the cost was a tad bit over two hundred dollars but everything fit and it was one less thing to worry about. We also invested in a care package delivery plan that sent her a basket of goodies every six weeks. I think that the cost on that was about one hundred and fifty dollars for five baskets and they were always a source of joy for her (and her room mate). I wouldn't go to crazy on buying things because it seems that the large percentage of people in the dormitories move out after the first year. As for meal plans I would only go with two meals per day...my daughter did not use the three meal plan.My daughter is moving into a sorority house for a year and is talking about an apartment after that.
