Dinnerware & Drinkware

Your dorm room is quite different from the room you have at home. Many college students feel a little homesick. They miss their family and friends, not to mention all of the conveniences of home, especially when it comes to eating in their room. One way to feel more comfortable at college when eating in your dorm room is with a dorm plate set. Whether you have pizza from a local restaurant or dinner from the cafeteria, you'll love how it feels to eat on real plates. Bed Bath & Beyond makes it easy for you to find both college dinnerware and drinkware for your room.

Durability is just one thing to think about when you look for the best dorm plates. You need plates that can stand up to your move into the dorm as well as when you head home at the end of the year. The best college dinnerware will also stand up to multiple trips to the kitchen when you clean them. College dinnerware sets come in both options for individuals and groups. If you want to feel homey in your room, go with a basic set that includes a matching bowl, plate, and cup. You might prefer a set that features bowls and plates of different sizes, such as those from Our Table™.

Do you dream about throwing dinner parties and inviting friends over to hang out? Go with a dorm plate set that includes more pieces, like a 12-piece set. You get two plates and one dish with enough dishes to serve up to four people. With a large college dish set, you don't need to stick to those just for college students, though. Fiesta® makes fun dinnerware in bright colors like poppy red and marigold yellow.

The kitchen & dining supplies you need will depend on what you love doing at school. If you want your room to become party central, make sure you pick out college drinkware. While you can rely on red plastic cups, drinkware sets are durable and can last until long after you graduate. You can choose a set with bigger or smaller glasses depending on what you want to serve. College drinkware also lets you reduce your impact on the environment because you cut down on the amount of plastic you throw away.

Don't forget some accessories that make your party pop. You can grab flatware for your guests and a serving bowl that can hold your favorite dish. A serving bowl from Bee & Willow™ also comes in handy when you want to kick back with a big bowl of popcorn. A table runner and a matching placemat set can make your guests feel at home and put you in the mood to celebrate special occasions when you're away from home. Use Bed Bath & Beyond to create the ultimate college registry that includes utensils, a set of dorm plates, drinkware, and anything else you think you might need at school.
