This post was sponsored by Sears. All the opinions are mine. So... let's talk about sending your homeschooler to college. Are you campus ready? Have you made your shopping list? Could you use some help on selecting dorm room items and knowing what your young adult will need at school? Are you just completely lost? lol Have no fear... CampusReady is here!
Just take a peak at what Sears has done for you! They've made preparing for you student's first year away from home a whole lot simpler, by giving you a one stop shop for getting your college bound guy or gal ready for their next big step. You'll find everything from financial tips to shoping hints. They call it getting CampusReady, I call it fun!
My favorite feature on the CampusReady site is called "Shop by dorm room" and it gives you a LARGE interactive view of one decked out dorm room after another. See something you like and just mouse over the item for pricing info. Pretty cool! This website gives you a full view of a completely decorated dorm room, with all coordinating products so you don't have to shop blindly hoping your selections will somehow work together. You can see the big picture as you shop!
If you like what they've so expertly thrown together enough that you want to "shop the room" just click and you'll be able to add each item to your shopping cart. Very nice!
What does a college student need for school anyway? That's a big question and Sear's CampusReady has your checklist waiting for you! Everything from sleeping and living, to cleaning and eating. Examine the list, check your shopping cart and be sure you've covered everything!
One thing I remember shopping for before I left my childhood home for the sorority house was clothing. That was before online shopping was well established, so at the time I was driving all over the metro area trying to hit the malls and favorite clothing stores in order to piece together something fitting my freshman year. Sears will not only save you on gas money, but their prices are totally reasonable, in fact many of their products are on sale! So, shop from home, save money, and take some of the chaos out of creating that must have wardrobe. With decorative T-shirts as low as $6 each, how can you go wrong?
Be sure to have your student check out the Money Sense page too... this is something I suggest going over with them before they start their new journey. Many kids learn the hard way how to be financially smart... their first taste of freedom can be expensive (for you too)! Give some special attention to the section on protecting your credit. Additionally, make sure they know how to protect their identity!
Finally, and you don't want to miss this... Sears and Upromise are offering a total of $25,000 in funds towards college tuition through a very exciting giveaway! So... visit sears.com/campusready and enter today! All the exciting details are on the CampusReady website! If you're already a Upromise member, you'll be automatically entered when you make a purchase at Sears.com through Upromise!
Oh... and you'll want to share with your student that CampusReady is on Facebook! Have them visit CampusReady on Facebook today!
