The thing is, we know college students are a very diverse bunch. If we were to put any other group into one category — say, "people in their 30s" — it would sound a bit ridiculous to pick out a handful of gifts that would please them all. But we know some basic things that most people in college have in common. (This also goes for people in their late teens and early 20s who are not currently earning a post-secondary school degree.) They live in dorms or cramped, cheap apartment shared with others. They're just figuring out how to be adults (though aren't we all?). And even if they're having the time of their lives, they could always use a few extra comforts for when they've got to hunker down and study.
