College Dorm Essentials

As many students know, when prepping for a big exam, having all the necessary study materials is key. The same goes for prepping for life at college. Bed Bath & Beyond's plethora of college essentials and dorm décor is a foolproof way to guarantee you have everything you'll need for a successful school year! Here at Bed Bath & Beyond, we also know how imperative it is to make your new home away from home cozy, comfy, and entirely your own. Our college categories are overflowing with not only the basics like desk supplies and tech gadgets, but also dorm décor like bedding, rugs, and decorative accessories that match your style. Unfortunately, with all the planning and packing going on, it's sometimes easy for certain key items to fall through the cracks. To ensure that's not the case, check out our Bed Bath & Beyond's College Checklist to eliminate the fear of forgetfulness and to carefully outline everything you need to build your dream dorm. Once you reviewed your interactive college checklist of must-haves, go ahead and personalize your freshman wish list or create a college registry to lend a helping hand to your friends and family looking to celebrate your college journey with a gift.

When packing up for college, it's always a good idea to check with your school about which items you will definitely need to bring to your new dorm room. From twin XL sheets to closet organizers to extra seating, setting up your dorm requires many essentials and a lot of moving boxes. To avoid lugging dorm items from place to place, check out Bed Bath & Beyond's Pack & Hold™ service to make the moving process just a little simpler. Whether you live near your new school or very far, our Pack & Hold service allows you to shop for your or a loved one's dorm must-haves at your local Bed Bath & Beyond store or online and pick it up at a store location nearest to your new school. Plus, by signing up for our College Savings Pass, you can receive 20% off of all of your dorm room essentials every time you shop in-store or online (available for a limited time only). This way, not only is your college shopping experience easy, but it is also affordable - no breaking the piggy bank necessary.
