You are about to move into a new home. Of course you will need to
bring necessities such as clothing and toiletries, but you'll
probably want to bring along a few items to make your stay on
campus comfortable and enjoyable as well. We hope that the list
below will help you to decide what to bring and what to leave at
home.
As you are making those decisions, keep in mind that you will have
suitemates who will also be bringing their belongings. You will
receive the names and phone numbers of your roommate and suitemates
over the summer, so that you can initiate contact with them prior
to moving in. It is a good idea to discuss with your roommates and
suitemates what each of you will contribute to the suite. Each
suite comes equipped with one microfridge for student use. It is
permissible for students to bring small (no bigger than 3.0 cubic
feet) refrigerators of their own for personal use, but only up to
one per bedroom.
