These stores take back to school to the next level: helping you get all of the essentials for college and stylize your semester, from start to finish.

That means you can forget about packing up the car for college. Instead, do all of your shopping online and arrange to pick up your items at a store location right near campus!
Offering back to school checklists of items, college searching tools to verify what you need (and what you don’t) and style guides, these retailers want to get your back to school business more than ever.
