<p>My son has several weekly/monthly magazines that he enjoys reading. What is the best way to get them to him in his dorm? Do you change the subscription address or just mail them to him? Any other ideas?</p>
<p>Unless you don’t mind the hassle and expense of re-mailing them to him, and he doesn’t mind the significant delay in getting them, I’d say change the subscription address to his school address. For many magazines you can easily do this on-line.</p>
<p>I never found a great solution. It was expensive to re-mail them and you would have to keep changing the address back and forth in the summer and fall. We just held them for him.</p>
<p>I just mailed them from home. I would put them in a box so I could add other goodies, too!</p>
<p>My mom let me change mine online… It takes 5 seconds to change it when you come home in the summer. Not a big deal.</p>
<p>I mail them in a care package each month…too many address changes too often I think. Plus it gives me an opportunity to actually send him something each month.</p>
<p>Time Magazine is one of them which is weekly but I would suppose he could find that at the college somewhere. The others are monthly which I could mail. Thanks for the suggestions.</p>
<p>I had a Newsweek subscription all through college. I changed my address twice a year…once when I arrived at college in the fall and again back to my home in the spring.</p>
<p>It really wasn’t a problem at all; issues that were mailed home in the fall before the change went through my Mom just held; issues that were mailed to school after I went home were forwarded to my house by the school.</p>
<p>My kids always changed the subscription address.</p>
<p>My kids never had time to read magazines at school, so we just kept a pile that went on the plane with them when they went back.</p>
<p>I think a lot of magazines offer special college deals to kids – basically, 8-month subscriptions. I think my daughter got the New Yorker that way. My roommates and I always got the New York Times in college. College students are a pretty desirable demographic as far as advertisers are concerned, so it makes sense for many publications to give them good deals if it can identify them.</p>
