That first move into college can feel intimidating. Effective preparation can help ease some of those new-school jitters.
Some of the best places to shop for dorm room essentials are Amazon and Target, and this year students are able to take advantage of the Black Friday deals.
Amazon’s Off-to-College storefront is the ultimate shopping destination for students living on and off-campus.
Available on the desktop site and the Amazon App, the store allows students to browse millions of college must-haves, from textbooks and school supplies, and all things tech, with low prices-all in one place.
Amazon is offering 30% off 4K TVs, Fire TV Stick, and more in the Black Friday sale this year.
The Amazon Fire TV Stick allows students to access all their favorite streaming services through one simple device. It’s easy to set up and comes with everything you need.
For students living in a dorm room, an extra-long power cord may come in handy, and Amazon has one for just $17.99.
The number of outlets near a student’s desk, chair, or bed may be limited, so having a long cord means they can charge their devices while keeping them within arm’s reach.
Students should avoid walking barefoot in a communal shower. Amazon offers a wide variety of sandals that can be worn in the shower that are comfortable, colorful, and convenient.
While many colleges provide closet and wardrobe space, they do not give students hangers for their clothes.
Amazon has an option to purchase hangers in bulk creating a more affordable price.
TOZO T6 Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds, which offer a user-friendly design and a reasonable price, noise-canceling headphones, can be purchased on Amazon.
The waterproof design also may be good for students looking for earbuds to wear while working out.
Most colleges only provide students with a mattress. Incoming students must purchase sheets for their beds.
Comfy dorm room bedding essentials can be purchased through Target because they carry extra-long twin sets for college, which in case you didn’t know, college dorm beds require extra long, twin sheets.
Bullseye’s Playground, Target’s dollar section, features a family-friendly selection of curated seasonal products, back-to-school items, teacher supplies, home decor, and more.
It is essential for these young adults to have the ability to make their own meals, and one huge necessity that Target offers is KitchenAid utensils.
Having a few sets of utensils on hand in your dorm room can come in handy when you want to eat meals or snacks without visiting the dining hall.
This year Target is offering massive deals on TVs, toys, Dyson, Keurig, and more.
Fueling late-night study sessions and early morning classes with perfectly brewed coffee, Target also sells Keurigs in a variety of colors and sizes.
Keep track of assignments, classes, and social events with an easy-to-hang chalkboard calendar for just $16 at Target.
Students can search for all these goodies on Black Friday to become more prepared for dorm living.
