The Urban Outfitters college sale is now on — as a style editor and former student, this is what I recommend buying

Three pictures of decor in the Urban Outfitters college sale - a white lamp on top of a wooden table, a wooden desk with an office chair next to it, and a green and orange floral bed.

When it comes to scouting out essentials for college, I always look for stores with quirky and cute pieces, like UO.

Right now, Urban Outfitters has up to 40% off college and dorm essentials, with discounts across furniture, decor, and more until Sunday July 14. I'm a former college student who has lived in campus accommodation, and I'm also Real Homes' content editor. So, I know what to look for when it comes to selecting stylish and useful pieces, which I've done here after scouring the site for hours.
