We&#8217;ve got 6 more weeks until it&#8217;s over and three more weeks until Labor Day.\u00a0 Remember when that was the last week for a vacation before school started?\u00a0 Public schools opened this week.\u00a0 Pretty soon parents will be sending their &#8220;how did they get to be this old&#8221; children off to four years of high maintenance and hopefully passing grades.\u00a0 The average cost\/year for college ranges from $21,000 to $42,000.\u00a0 So, you&#8217;ve really got to be frugal and spend your dollars wisely when trying to personalize that generic dorm room, but listen up, students; it&#8217;s a lot easier shopping now than when I sent my children off to college.<\/p>\n<p>Two articles in the Times Picayune; one by Stephanie Hepburn and the other by <a title=\"jura-konclus-decorating-college-dorms-washington-post\"

excellent suggestions.\u00a0 Be sure you don&#8217;t over buy and over stock.\u00a0 Follow the housing office&#8217;s Facebook page or Twitter feed for tips and information.\u00a0 Target&#8217;s uStyler lets students design their own virtual dorm room online and then share it with roommates through Facebook.\u00a0 Most rooms come with the standard bed, desk, chair and dresser.\u00a0 If you can remove the chair (ask before purchasing) replacing it with a more comfortable chair is a good investment because you&#8217;ll spend a lot of time sitting on it.\u00a0 The Bungee Office Chair for $139 from the Container Store is a good choice since the straps are supportive, a pneumatic lift makes it adjustable and it comes in colors!\u00a0 An additional $10 will get you one with arms.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8962\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8962\" style=\"width: 336px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a title=\"the-container-store-bungee-office-chair\"
