My T-shirts keep shrinking when I put them through the dryer. What gives?!?

I've only noticed it after buying some new shirts. I wear them after a wash and they come out uncomfortable to wear. How do I stop this annoying inconvenience? I haven't an open place to hang my clothes outside. Will they ever dry inside in the house? And where do I hang them anyway? Note that I am just a college student renting a basement so could any mother help me :(

1. I think you should stop putting them into the drier, as the temperature may be to hot that is why they shrink, so i would say dry them elsewhere either on a washing line or over a clothes airier, and see if that make a difference, it should do.
2. Funny you bring it up. i just had this conversation with my husband. he has a ton of shirts that he does not wear and they are brand new. he said because once i wash them the collar gets tight or it gets too short, something just doesn't feel right. OK so tonight i washed a shirt he just bought. 1. he bought it a little big. 2. i offered to air dry ( he said no, it needs to shrink some ) 3. i put it on a low heat in the dryer. so far so good. I would also recommend maybe drying it for a short time then letting it air dry.
3. It depends on the temperature you wash it in AND dry it in. Drying is most important. I would suggest low heat and has soon as it's done, take it out. Leaving clothes sitting in the drier isn't good.
