Why Extra Sheets Should Be on Your College Dorm List

As a senior who’s lived in dorms for years, trust me – pack at least two sets of sheets. Between late-night study snacks, spilled coffee, and the occasional flu, having backup sheets is crucial. Most dorm washing machines are constantly in use, especially on weekends, making immediate laundry impossible. Nothing’s worse than discovering your only sheets are dirty at 2 AM after a coffee spill during an all-nighter. Having spares saves you from sleeping on a bare mattress or borrowing from hallmates.

Pro tip: Choose dark colors that hide stains and coordinate with your dorm list essentials.
