DormSmart.com Tells All On Their Blog, Dorm411.com

Aug. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- In today’s economy there is really no such thing as decorating your dorm room on a dime so it’s important for students on a limited budget to make smart dorm buys... to assess what they really need for their dorm room or campus apartment prior to spending their or their parents hard earned dollars. The exact reason that DormSmart.com launched their blog Dorm411.com earlier this year, to assist students in making smart dorm buys when it comes to outfitting their dorm room this season.

“On Dorm411.com, we advise students to first take or buy what they absolutely need for their particular dorm room, the necessities, then add in extras as they can afford them, as they figure out what they really need, much like when we purchase a new home. We move in and live in it awhile before spending our hard earned dollars making changes. The dorm room is a student’s new home. It’s that simple...,” stated Christi Leslie, Founder and CEO of DormSmart.com and Creator of Dorm411.com.

Dorm411.com further advises students to create a checklist or download DormSmart.com’s checklist and establish a budget prior to shopping for dorm room necessities. While DormSmart.com’s checklist may seem like a lot of dorm stuff, students can find many of the listed items at home, saving a few more dollars. Using the checklist helps students take inventory prior to making dorm buys, preventing overspending! As for those neat little dorm room extras, DormSmart.com will still be stocking them over the next four years! For now, budget challenged student shoppers should stick with budget friendly dorm room necessities they cannot live without.

In addition to advising budget challenged students about making smart dorm buys; Dorm411.com also shares their insights on those not so smart dorm buys.

“Although it’s just our opinion, we found it necessary to share those opinions with our readers on Dorm411.com because we have seen a few of those not so smart dorm buys featured recently. We do not want students or parents to waste their money. As an experienced parent, I understand how overwhelming and expensive it can be to prepare your son or daughter for college life. You want them to be successful so it’s important to create an environment for them, meaning their dorm room, that is supportive of their new college lifestyle while sticking to a budget. We are hoping that Dorm411.com helps both students and parents make the right dorm buys,” stated Christi Leslie.

So, while students may not be able to decorate their dorm room on a dime in today’s economy, they can avoid wasting money on products that really aren't smart dorm buys by reading Dorm411.com and sharing their experiences. Savvy students who stick to making smart dorm buys, such as quality dorm bedding, that is supportive of their new college lifestyle, will save a little money. Once they’ve spent a little time in their dorm room, they can always shop online for those little extras at DormSmart.com and have them delivered to their college campus in the US or abroad.
