<p>If you are not going to be using your phone all that much, I’d suggest getting a prepaid phone or something. All the major carriers have such no-contract pay-as-you-go plans (though I hear verizon’s is pretty bad). Other MVNOs also offer such services. </p>
<p>As for that dorm room bedding package, it’s on the expensive side, but if it’s convenience you are after, the set has pretty much everything you’ll need. Another thing is how will you get the stuff to school? The website says they ship to home not the school and I know that Duke doesn’t accept packages until move in. If you are just gonna bring it with you, might as well buy the stuff at home or when you get to school.</p>
