Dorm room style is important for students because they often see their surroundings as an extension of themselves—a space that reflects their identity, creativity, and evolving sense of independence—and for the start of a new school year, the '[Urban Outfitters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-dorm-makeover-contest) x [Chipotle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-i-want-is-chipotle) A Little Extra Dorm [Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-campus-collection)' is launching.

This limited-edition collection, inspired by Chipotle's iconic menu includes items like the 'A Little Extra Embroidered Pillow,' 'Black Bean' and 'Pinto Bean Bag Chairs,' a 'Chipotle Burrito Throw Blanket' and a 'Chipotle Delivery Doormat.'

Alongside this dorm collection, Chipotle introduced the value-packed Chipotle U Rewards program to recognize and celebrate Gen Z as they hit higher education milestones. As such, Chipotle is the first major national restaurant brand to launch a loyalty program for college students.
