Housing Letter about bed sheets....?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Riverside

<p>ok, so im the first one bringing this up, couple weeks ago i got a letter from housing, i thought it would news on the bigger scale, instead it was on orders to buy "special" bed sheets... kk. </p>

<p>so my question:
for those upperclassmen, Did you guys buy these "special" sheets, were they really worth it? could you find one of these at Target or something?</p>

<pre><code>for incoming freshmen, like me: Are you guys planning on buying these?
</code></pre>

<p>i gotta admit, it is odd yet funny making a thread about bed sheets lol, anyways thanks for your time.</p>

<p>My mom just got some regular sheets for my bro 6 years ago… it still worked</p>

<p>I don’t remember what exactly the dimensions were, but in any case I regard the bedsheet thing as a scam now…</p>

3

<p>i THINK THEY ARE A SCAM, I can just buy them at wal mart for cheaper</p>

4

<p>lol, yeah. pretty sure any regular bedsheets will fit.</p>

5

<p>You probably need twin xl which are pretty available this time of year everywhere including Target ( look for dorm room sets). After school starts, they get a little harder to find…</p>

6

<p>The beds in the dorms are Twin XL, which means that it’s just longer than a regular twin bed. But hey, use whatever sheets you want.</p>

7

<p>I bought the Student Starter Pak</p>

<p>yeah im pretty sure you can go anywhere to buy it yourself. I had help from a friend already in college and her mother got me a “Twin Bed Set” from Marshalls(it fits twin xl too). I think it comes with pretty much everything needed from the starter pack.</p>

<p>Ok. For everyone.This whole thing is a lie
You can buy everything for 20 bucks at Ikea.
The size is twin size LONG >_></p>
