      Because the college would tell you the dorm rooms have twin mattresses in them. So everybody shows up with twin sized sheets.

      You can actually get fitted twin sized sheets to fit a twin-xl mattress if you fold the mattress a little when you put on the sheet… When the mattress straightens out it compresses a little, and the sheets stretch a little. But you’ll also find the weak spots in your sheets very fast.

        Ahh, okay. Yeah, I’ve slept on twins and twin xls most of my life and I’m familiar with the sheet stretch, I just didn’t realize colleges didn’t differentiate when they told kids what they had.
