<p>@xoxo123 I’m an int’l student and i would recommend you purchase a mattress from Target or nearby stores after you land-- however, I’m fairly certain that BSes will provide you with some form of a mattress, so you don’t have to buy another one necessarily. Maybe you should arrive a few days before the 1st day of school so you have time to buy essentials etc (that’s what I’m going to do).</p>
