Plan to bring only what you need—keep in mind that space is limited. Work with your roommate(s) to coordinate who will bring certain shared items such as a TV, rug, or mini fridge. Large items can be shipped after you arrive. Pleast note: Any packages that are shipped prior your arrival for move-in will be returned.
The following are items that many residents have found useful or convenient.
- Towels (bath, hand, washcloth)
- Robe
- Shower caddy
- Shower shoes
- Toiletries
- Sheets — a standard regular size twin sheet will fit mattresses if you’re assigned to Carson or Earl.
The standard extra-long twin sheet size will fit mattresses in all other complexes.
Linens can also be checked out upon arrival at no additional charge from your Housing Service Center.
Your room assignment (which you receive in August) will show what size sheets to bring.
