Well it’s that time of year, August is when all the college age kids are getting excited to start a new life in a college dorm or new apartment away from home. This year will be record attendance in colleges. Sears has made it easy to find furniture and other items for your dorm by dedicating a special CampusReady page.

You can pick a “dorm room” where they have a photo of what a really modern styled look for a college dorm. They have different styles for men and women. You can hover items in the dorm room to find the price and more information on products and buy individual products you want. They also on the page have an interactive shopping list to aid your shopping. They have a list of the items your child will need away at their dorm. They also have some financial and financial planning tips. Most kids are clueless about finances and in this economy its more important than ever to learn. On the page they also have links to apparel that is highly recommended and clothing categories recommended for college life.

College students should also check out the CampusReady on Facebook application to help with their transition into college. You can also register for free at the Campusready page for a chance to win $25,000 in college tuition.
