Just fyi… ASU actually never revoked my admission, even though I told them I wasn’t coming. Lo and behold, a week later, what did I get other than a “special” offer from ASU that they had worked out specially with an unnamed manufacturer offering me sheets so that I wasn’t “short-sheeted.” Literally!
Same deal, exact same form letter, same comment that they had the same SPECIAL sheets due to requests from ASU students. Scam. Don’t let ‘em take any more money than they already have.

Target sheets will fit great, they have these things called Bed In A Bag, which has all the sheets and pillow cases in one thing. It’s amazing.

I agree with Brittany and James, I bought the jersey twin XL from Bed Bath & Beyond and there’s no need to be tricked into some pre-frosh waste of money so some company can capitalize on our naivety.

Hallie,

What can I say, love the tangerine color and love that you are trying to be so frugal for your parents. Be indepedent but know they are always there for you. it’s hard to let go for us parents. I wish you much luck at school, you’ll be great!!!!!!! And let emom and dad give you the thousands of hugs when they drop you off!!!!!! All the best, Linda Walsh

like people said, the regular XL ones from bed bath and beyond/linens n things/pottery barn work fine. no reason to get ripped off by the sheet company.
(the rent-a-fridge flyer they send you, on the other hand, is definitely worth your while.)

They also have XLT at Pottery Barn if you’re into that.

Any old twin XL sheets are fine; the only thing that matters is that they’re at least 80′ long. I like the jersey ones from Bed Bath & Beyond. :)

glad to see that NBN has people from the new class writing on here already! as for the XL Twin sheets - they’re stupid - you will never need to buy that size ever again in your life… unless you get an XL Twin sized bed when you move off campus or in life!
