So we've been shopping every weekend for several weeks for the "mandatory items" list prior to STP. I'm already not a fan of shopping, but try to find affordable and available 6 X-Long twin flat sheets sold separately and keep your sanity (the answer is target.com for just over $11) Ha ha!. Anyway, the list is almost marked off, but I want to ask some questions of those who've been through this already before it's complete:
- For the black compression shorts, he already has about 5 pair of what I would consider underwear because they are shorter than what is in the picture (looks like 9-11'), but he thinks they will do. They are black but have colorful bands (like Adidas). Do they care about that? Do they care how long they are? This is one of the more expensive items, which is why I'm asking.
- I saw the posts about bringing a fan. We have a nice old-fashioned looking wire fan that is <18" in diameter, but is on a stand. Do they frown on fans that tall? Does it need to be a desk-top fan?
- We are driving him out there with his mountain of goods, but he's flying back home for the month before matriculation (then back). Does anyone have any suggestions on storing his goods for the month he's home? Should we ask his coach about that? Is that something they are used to doing? Poor guy has had to answer SO many questions already.
