What to Look For
- Twin XL size compatibility — most dorm beds are Twin XL, not standard Twin
- Machine-washable materials for easy cleaning in communal laundry
- Hypoallergenic options if you have allergies or sensitivities
- Breathable fabrics that work in both warm and cool months
Pro Tip: Bring two sets of sheets so you always have a clean set while the other is in the wash. Coordinate colors with your roommate for a cohesive look.
