To help you get ready for your arrival on campus, we’ve prepared this list of packing suggestions.
Remember, it isn’t necessary to bring everything listed! It will be important to speak with your
roommate about who will be bringing which items as you do not want to haul two televisions up to
the room, only to turn around and send one home with your parents. Sharing large items can save
you valuable space. Rooms measure approximately 12’ x 12’.
