<p>I bought 2 sets of sheets, a comforter, and an extra blanket for my son. He is always cold here at home, so I bought accordingly. Well, 2 schools and 3 dorms later, he hasn’t needed the extra blanket because the dorm rooms have been so hot that he needs to open the window, even in winter! I bought 2 sets of sheets in case he got sick. Never opened that 2nd set of sheets, either. So, at least for guys, I would say, just get the minimum.</p>
