Make Going Back to Campus Easy with At Home Store

Back to Campus—those three words conjure up a world of possibility…and a ton of expenses! Tuition, books, moving boxes, travel ticket, etc. After all the necessities are accounted for, trying to buy extra goodies can be tough. Take decorating the dorm room. Some may consider this a luxury, but any college student will say it’s a necessity to create a “home away from home.”

My beloved nephew is getting ready to attend school in Florida and he is extremely particular about his personal space. He feels its a reflection of his unique style and needs to be surrounded by things that make him feel comfortable. (Because he struggles with anxiety and depression, I concur.)

While his style might be at odds with mine, I do like to indulge him when it’s affordable. We love to look at discount stores together. One of our newest favorites is At Home. Known as the home décor superstore, they have a wonderful selection for Back to Campus, complete with an awesome checklist that eliminates the guesswork. Printing out the checklist and being able to cross items off as we shopped was so nice and saved a ton of time!

The main things we focused on were bedding, storage baskets, and a desk lamp. Of course, a few knickknacks made their way into the cart as well. He was drawn to the Poptastic collection which features bold, eye catching designs, including his favorite color (yellow).

Every item purchased can be enjoyed by him for years to come, without going into debt to buy it. At Home provide endless possibilities at an unbeatable value. Whether your tastes tend to be quirky (him) or classic (me), they have décor that will offer something for everyone.
