<p>Since we drove down, I can’t offer much advice on shipping vs. buying but many others have mentioned the Bed, Bath and Beyond option of buying locally and picking up in the Dadeland store. The Target in Dadeland is very convenient, but will sell out of popular items quickly, so you may want to make that stop a priority as soon as you arrive. </p>
<p>Rest assured that whatever your son needs, he will find a way to obtain, even after you have left. The students are very resourceful - although not always very frugal ;)</p>
