The program is designed to focus on form and function, providing students with stylish and practical options that offer convenience, versatility and utility.

In addition, students can take advantage of the simplified shopping experience by ordering online and conveniently picking up in-store upon arrival on campus. This ensures students experience a smooth transition into their new living spaces without the hassle of transporting or shipping bulky items.

"Dormify is committed to easing the stress of back-to-school shopping and college move-in logistics. We're thrilled to partner with Barnes & Noble College to support our vision and make the move-in process for students truly seamless," said Amanda Zuckerman, Co-founder and President of Dormify.

That's where the campus bookstore steps in, saving students from frustrating trips to overcrowded big box stores by offering carefully curated retail assortments tailored to their unique needs."

Students will have access to a wide range of products to meet their campus living needs like best-selling storage bins and organizers, multi-purpose 3-tier carts, table lamps, bedding, bath and more. The assortment also includes bundles for bath, bedding and the total room. Designed to elevate dorm living, the carefully curated bundles include everything students need and offer great value. Brands include Dormify; MagnaCOMFORT™ by Therapedic, an exclusive BNC brand partner in the collegiate space; Rhino Trunk & Case; Kennedy; Aston & Ardon; Honey Can Do; Lifelines and more. The new collection includes:

  • Bedding: Stylish and comfortable sheets, comforters, mattresses, mattress toppers and pillow sets.
