Look for recommendations on where to buy hoodies, shirts, maybe a blanket…

The college/university bookstore will often have a good selection and allow online shopping.

Oops, had no idea, sorry! And I’d probably have a different answer for all 6 of my kids’ universities.

You might be surprised by the selection in the college town’s big box stores and traditional shopping chains.

Probably the best variety, though local box stores will have some things. I have found that box stores and sports apparel online stores are better for bigger universities and schools with big sports programs. So it depends on what kind of school you’re talking about.

The college bookstore has these things. Or just look on your kid’s college website and do a search. Bet the place to purchase will come up.

For D25 I was able to access the college’s bookstore online. However the sweatshirt selection wasn’t that great and I found good options by searching Etsy. (I hope that’s a generic enough suggestion)

I’ve found some fun vintage items on eBay over the years.

There are several online stores, if you don’t want to order from the college bookstore. I am about to go to my college reunion, and looked at used tshirts!

Places like Target, Kohls, etc around Michigan can have some great deals. Their book stores etc etc. I am sure it’s the same at most colleges.

In my D’s college town, the big box stores sold all sorts of college merchandise and it much cheaper than the bookstore.

Yes and it can be cheaper too!
