<p>anyone future class of 2013--</p>
<p>I got something in the mail a while back about linens. It loooks like a good idea to order from the catalogue thing, but I'm not sure. Does target and stuff sell extra long twin sheets? any opinions? Holla!</p>
<p>Target usually stocks XL twin sheets, that’s where I got mine last summer. July time stores like Target offer all sorts of back to college items for fall semester. I think it’s more convenient and practical buying at local store than mail order.</p>
<p>my mom got some twin XL sheets from bed bath & beyond. they were pretty expensive though.</p>
<p>Folks have posted previously that the quality of the “package” offers is poor.</p>
<p>You can find sheets and all in twin XL in Walmart, Bed Bath and Beyond (for way cheaper than their stuff usually sells for–from about May -Aug) and Target to name a few. If it is not out yet, just wait, June/July/Aug they will have LOTS. BB&B already has some out now. I saw nice sheets there for $14.95 a piece for flat and fitted. You can order from BB&B online to pick up at a store in the college town of your choice, but it can be busy at pickup time. There is a great Target near FSU that last year stocked up on everything one needed for dorms, even in time for Summer move in.</p>
<p>at my school, Twin XL is too big.
i assume that all the beds are the same size.</p>
<p>i’d suggest tj max or target.</p>
<p>FSU has specified that in all their dorms the mattresses are TWIN XL. This is an FSU thread. All comments are for FSU beds.</p>
<p>The beds are XL which is longer than a standard twin. Walmart, Target, Penny’s, Sears, Bed, Bath & Beyond, etc all carry a small selection of XL sheets. Most of the stores also carry sets (pillow case, sheets & comforters). If you have nerves of steel…wait until August. I found nice XL sheets sets at Penny’s for 50% off. In September I found some for 75% off at Target, which became a back up set.</p>
<p>i beg to differ with the comment on all dorms having XL sheets. not true. smith does not, i repeat, does not have XL twin beds.</p>
<p>What are the mattress sizes in the residence hall rooms?</p>
<p>Bryan, Kellum, Smith, Jennie Murphree, and Dorman have mattresses that are 36 x 76. The remaining halls all have mattresses that are 36x 80. You may want to consider buying sheets that will fit a 36 x 80 mattress regardless of where you are assigned. If you ever change halls you would not have to replace your sheets. </p>

<p>sunnyflorida, calm down!</p>
<p>my sister goes to UF and they have the same issue/furniture.</p>
<p>in addition, my mattress was 36"x80".</p>
<p>That’s the downside of the dorms. I move around a lot while sleeping and will miss my queen sized bed.</p>
<p>Actually I have the same problem 350Z! I ended up having to strap my sheets to the bed.</p>
<p>Oh wow! Thanks for all the help.</p>
<p>The only issue I have with the beds is about falling off…I have tons of junk I know I will take with me to school from home, no matter how hard I tell myself not to, and I’m going to want to raise the bed.</p>
<p>It’ll save mom tons of tuition, though.</p>
<p>my mattress was really slick, and I assume the FSU mattress would be the same. my sheets would always slip off. really annoying. i probably should have taped my mattress pad down (XL twin 36x80 mat.). </p>
<p>raising your bed is a good idea because you can put your dresser and other pieces of furniture under it, so you save space. </p>
<p>i was afraid of falling off, but it never happend. my bed was at the highest point and i had my dresser under it. it was awesome :D</p>
