Shopping Tips for Students and Host Families
I-Place is available to assist new students with transportation to local shopping centers so that they can purchase items they will need to get settled in. In addition, many host families enjoy sharing their shopping expertise with their student. Options include local thrift shops, discount stores, and shopping malls.There are also a number of local ethnic food markets in the area.
Of course, each student’s shopping needs will vary.Students who will be living on campus should check the housing information they received from their college and might want to check our suggested list for Dorm Rooms.
Graduate students who will be living off campus might need to get some furniture, since most off campus apartments are not furnished. A good place to start looking is the bulletin board in the Charlene Martin Lounge at I-Place.The Claremont Courier is also a great place to find used furniture, as are some of the local Thrift Shops. Unfortunately, I-Place has limited ability to help students transport large items (such as furniture), so students may need to pay additional costs for delivery.
