If your college is like mine, your dorm shipping address has a PO box in it, and you can't get two day shipping from Amazon Prime to a PO box, only standard shipping. This was a bit of a bummer for me, but I found a way to get the two day shipping by switching up the address a bit. This may not work for everyone, but I figure I'll share. You should test this out by ordering a super cheap item, like some pens or something, like I did.

This is how I formatted the address:

(name)
(college name); (address of college)
(dorm name) (room number)
(city, state zip code)

I left out the PO box this way, yet two days later I found the slip in my mailbox saying that I had a package to pick up, and it was the one from Amazon. Like I said, give it a try, and I hope it works out.
 
It's always worked for me as well. UPS even goes into our dorms and delivers it right to my door.

Although my actual dorm building has an address.
