When it comes to college sheets, there are a few important things to think about. First and foremost: most colleges require Twin XL sheets. Will you study on your bed? Live in a cold place? A hot place? Is your top priority finding something in your budget? Do you want sheets with your school's logo? Organic sheets? High quality (i.e., high thread count) sheets? Buying an awesome set of flannel sheets may backfire during the summer if you're going to school in Atlanta, so spend a moment thinking about what you'll need out of your sheets from August to May.
