Students' Suggestions

We know you have a lot of things to buy for your new life here at the school. On
this page, we've included students' ideas about the best places to buy them.
Coffee tables, Dressers
Why don't you buy them used? They are much cheaper than new ones, and they
usually still look good. New Homes is the best place to buy them, and they will
bring the furniture to your apartment for free.
TVs
This is one thing you should buy new. You'll use it a lot, and you don't know how
long used ones will last. The Best TVs on Orchard Road has the most choices, and
their prices are pretty good.
