I keep getting mail that’s talking about Campus Value Paks and all other dorm materials from OCM… letter says that “regular sheets won’t fit our specialty sized beds” and claims a lot of Fordham students purchase these Value Paks. It all seems a little shady so I’m wondering if it’s worth it or not to buy one of these instead of taking a trip to Bed Bath and Beyond or Target or something.
Ignore it. Just go to Target or BBB and buy the XL Twin sheets since that is the standard sized mattress for all dorms.
I agree with @MomTheChauffer , plus the quality is awful. Just buy what you need, it won’t be that much more expensive and it will be way better quality.
You’ll probably want to buy the XL sheet set, but everything else in the Value Pack you probably have at home - pillow, blanket, towels comforter.
You also may want a foam mattress pad. BB&B usually sends college kids a 20% off coupon. You can order whatever you need and it will be held at a store near your school. Order, use the coupon at pick up, and you’re done.
I ordered one of these value paks, and I’m pleased with it. They have a comforter design I like, and all the extras that came with it saved me from shopping around. No issues with quality.
