What My Dorm Room student participants had to say:
​
“[My Dorm Registry] greatly relieved the financial burden on my family and I to buy college essentials. The items will make my transition so much smoother.”
“[My parents] loved that I received the opportunity to save money and receive essential [s] I would not have been able to attain.”
“I cannot express my gratitude for this opportunity enough, the items for my dorm registry will help my everyday life for all of my college experience. I will use the blanket, pillows, bedding etc. for year.”
​
​
"I am extremely thankful for the dorm registry opportunity. No one in my family has ever dormed before and trying to find items to purchase alone has been extremely difficult. I wasn’t sure of that I would need to purchase, let alone how expensive the items would be. The things I selected will truly serve me well and I am eternally thankful for this experience. Thank you again!!”
​
“It meant not having another financial burden to worry about. This opportunity benefitted me and my family a lot simply because it takes a lot of stress out of all of us”.
​
“I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and the support. Having to stress about buying dorm décor is already stressful and expensive. I don’t like to feel like I’m bothering my family by asking them to buy me a lot of stuff, especially for college. But having this support means the world, not only do I appreciate it but so do my parents. I know future scholars given this opportunity will forever appreciate it as well”.

"It was an amazing experience. It made me have hope that I do have an amazing community to have my back."
Choosing items off of the registry was easy. Important items were chosen for you, you just had to pick your preference.
It made me feel excited and comfortable knowing a chunk of my dorm costs would be minimized.
I felt very excited to be able to pick items that go in my dorm. I feel thankful for the privilege to have been able to select items. I felt excited scrolling and looking at the items that I could pick and see which ones I liked. All the options are nice.
It is an amazing thing and a true blessing.
