Getting furniture
There are four ways to get furniture:
-
From Churches. At the beginning of each semester, different churches
will arrange for church memebers to donate some furniture to new
students. The most active Church is the one that organizes the American
Friendship Program. If you go to their meetings and sign up for
this program, you will also be asked to fill a form stating your
needs of furniture.
-
From the BBS. Sometimes people will sell or even give away their
old furniture. Keep a close eye on related messages.
-
From Garage Sales and second-hand furniture stores. You can also
look up some flea markets in the Yellow page.
-
From stores. Walmart, Staples, Officemax, Officedepot, etc are
places you can go and buy some new furniture. A study chair costs
around $20 and a simple desk will cost you at least $30. If you
enjoy online shopping, you can check out their websites. Coupons
for Staples,
Officemax
& Officedepot
can be found on websites like Dealcatcher.
