My school days are long gone, but I’ll never forget the thrill of back-to-school shopping: blank notebooks, empty binders, unsharpened pencils, a few new outfits, and – once college came around and I started living the dorm life – home goods.
It’s hard to get super creative in a cookiecutter campus room, especially when it comes to larger-footprint furniture. Still, personalization is possible. Just because you’ll be sleeping on a school-issued twin XL bed, and just because twin XL bed linens are an outlier size, doesn’t mean you can’t make it your own. Whether you’re looking for a solid color or a particular print, a slippy bamboo knit or a casual jersey material, there are a slew of options out there — and Target has enough of them to satisfy every style.
Since your to-do list is probably long enough, I’ve done the hard work of sifting through the superstore’s many offerings to bring you the best of the best. There are 12 options below, and I’d be surprised if there wasn’t at least one standout for you in particular. So read on, and get ready for a year of sleeping in true (personal) style.
