The Urban Outfitters college sale is now on — as a style editor and former student, this is what I recommend buying

When it comes to scouting out essentials for college, I always look for stores with quirky and cute pieces, like UO.

Right now, Urban Outfitters has up to 40% off college and dorm essentials, with discounts across furniture, decor, and more until Sunday July 14. I'm a former college student who has lived in campus accommodation, and I'm also Real Homes' content editor. So, I know what to look for when it comes to selecting stylish and useful pieces, which I've done here after scouring the site for hours.

If you've been scouting out Urban Outfitters home sales and are looking specifically for buys that are suitable for dorm living, these discounts will come in useful.

You can make your dorm room feel cozy and inviting with these decor picks that I think are fab and functional.

There are so many things you’ll need for your dorm, so it’s always smart to shop them at a discount wherever possible.
