You're brave with white sheets (although at least they can be boiled & bleached when they come home). Me, I keep my eyes open for sheets in the same shade as sweat-grime-clay....

One more thing, cv, see if you can find out his roommate's name and have them contact each other over the summer. If it is an apartment setup, it helps with who brings what for the kitchen. Even in a dorm situation, there's things like TV-video-DVD-game setup, is there a need for a shower curtain, or any other space-consideration, mutually-used items.
