Do You Really Need That?
A Mom & Son's Advice

In the not-so-far future, in the unloading area of college dormitories all across America, cars and SUVs will be disgorging skyscrapers of stuff: bed-in-a-bags, floor lamps, microwaves and cube refrigerators, computer laptops in leather carrying cases and more than a few flat screen TV sets. But what do you really need? And how can you make college spending dollars stretch? Our mother and son blogging team have some advice.

Beth Weschler ("mom"), a social worker, and Zac Bissonnette ("son"), who will be a junior at UMass Amherst this fall, have come up with some rules for college shopping -- what's worth it and what's not. Click through our gallery for a "she says/he says" look.
