Summer is an exciting time for first year college students. This is the time of year when they strategically plan their exodus from the place they have called home for the past 18 years and set the stage for what will be their new abode for the next four years. A lot of time and planning goes into this process. Residence halls have to be selected; roommates are decided upon; and somehow, a student needs to figure out how they are going to cram all of their belongings into a room that was designed for streamlined and efficient living.
To properly celebrate this occasion, and hopefully help out with the cramming statement above, CheapScholar.org has teamed up with DormCo to provide one lucky reader with a FREE RUGGED DORM TRUNK!
This rustic red dorm trunk (with wheels) is exclusively available from DormCo. Whether you need a place to stash all of your college gear or want a mobile desk or tv stand, a dorm trunk is a “must have” addition to your dorm supplies checklist. This trunk retails for $140. Click here to see more information, including size measurements.
