Hey folks, super random question, but I'm already thinking about packing and dorm life. Do y'all know what size beds most colleges usually provide in their dorm rooms?
Most colleges provide Twin XL beds in their dorm rooms. The dimensions for a Twin XL bed are approximately 38 inches wide by 80 inches long, which is about 5 inches longer than a standard Twin bed. This extra length helps accommodate taller students. Prior to moving in, it might also be a good idea to double-check the bed size with the housing department of your specific college, as there can be some variances among different schools. Keep in mind when shopping for bedding, you'll want to specifically look for "Twin XL" sheets to ensure a proper fit.
