Hey current students! I’m an incoming first-year student and I was wondering how much stuff is sold at the sustainability move-in sale. I’m moving from Cali so it’s not going to be feasible to ship a lot of things to the east coast, so I’m wondering if there’s a way to purchase a full array of dorm furniture without going back and forth between the Bed Bath and Beyond in Boston.
What kind of goods would you typically expect to be sold in the sale? Will I be able to get rugs, throw pillows, etc.
Thanks!
My daughter got things like lamps and clothes. I don’t recall if she ever had a rug. You won’t have a lot of room, so don’t buy too much. Also, there is a Bed Bath and Beyond in Framingham, which is much closer, and it has lots of parking. (If you don’t have a car on campus, you can sign up for a ZipCar account. My D did this and it was very helpful for getting to appointments, shopping, etc.
You can buy your bedding, etc online and pick it up in the Framingham store when you arrive. Lots of people did this.
@Massmomm Thank you so much! I’ll definitely be considering the shipping online to Framingham option.
(I’m not too worried about room, tho—I have a double in Bates, and I’ve heard those are huge!)
