<p>So the moment of excitement has arrived and I get to buy my college linens! <em>is dork</em> Anyone know the dimensions of the mattress so I don't have to cave in and buy from that mail order company that's hitting us all up?</p>
<p>If you go to a Bed Bath and Beyond or a linens n' things store, you can buy bed stuff under the sixe Twin XL. Don't buy from that ripoff company lol</p>
<p>Haha thanks. And for anyone else interested, I found the exact length at FDO: as Jli2006 said, it is extra long (6' 5" long)</p>
<p>Just to tell you guys...BUY A FLEECE BLANKET from that "ripoff company"...you don't need anything else from them, but the fleece blanket is ridiculously warm and you will NEED it. Not kidding at all. The comforters suck, don't buy them, haha. And yup: XL sheets are what you need. You might want to buy a pillow too...they only give you one and it's not very soft.</p>
<p>oh sorry...I'm in class of 2009 so I lived in the frosh dorms last year :)</p>
