LULU and LATTE’S ULTIMATE COLLEGE CHECKLIST

I am sure most of you, who are sending their kids off to college in a weeks, have completed the dorm room essential list and are well on their way. For those of you who haven’t (like me), I figured I would put together a guide of the top items college kids will need so you don’t need to stress. Online shopping makes this process very simple AND if you do not have an AMAZON PRIME account, you should definitely sign up for a college account which gives you six months free, and then a reduced rate on top of perks!! Sign up HERE . This will come in handy for all their college years!!
Every single item on this list is linked. I thought too many pictures would be overkill. If you are unsure of what I am referring to on the list, just click the item and it will take you to the correct Amazon page. Any questions? Please email me at [email protected]

LINENS



- JERSEY KNIT SHEETS/PILLOWCASES (Check with college for size – most beds are TWIN XL – 2 sets)
- LUCID MATTRESS TOPPER (As stated above, most college dorm mattresses are twin XL. The mattress is very thin and hard so having a mattress topper is one item students say is a game changer. Toppers range in size, but 2-4 inches usually does the trick. Toppers can be expensive but this seems to be the college fave!!
