<p>Do not bother with linen service (buying or laundry). You can get better quality (and more choices of color & pattern) at any of the stores in Lebanon. </p>
<p>But, here’s something I would recommend: a bed warmer/heated mattress pad. Some of the dorms can be cooooooold in winter (yes, I’m talking about you, Choates), and D’s tootsies were often happy to have extra warmth. </p>
<p>Sorry, but I don’t recall when the HB info’ came. Might have come in an email directly to her. We waited until she was back from Trips to ship stuff. </p>
<p>Additional unsolicited advice: see if she can be covered by your health plan rather than buying the college plan. Saved us a chunk of change each year (and she can still use Dick’s House). I have Blue Shield and the Away From Home Care folks will make you take you back everything you ever thought or said about medical bureaucracies. At least, that’s been my experience. Helpful, knowledgeable & efficient. Unlike the other Blue Shield offices I’ve dealt with. (End of editorial.)</p>
