The Housing and Residence Life Office at 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 is providing you this guide as you are packing to come to campus. With move-in timeslots lasting one hour, we encourage you pack with that in mind - putting things in boxes, talking with your roommate about shared items ahead of time and focusing on the essentials to get started this Fall Semester. By focusing on 2-3 boxes worth of items, it is our hope that students will have what they need for the most month of school and then re-evaluate over Labor Day Weekend.

Before starting your packing list, make sure you know what we provide for your space - Furniture Guide. The following items are suggestions generated by students who have lived on campus in the past:


BRING IT!

  • Blankets, bedspreads, linens, towels, etc.
  • Flashlight and batteries - in case of power outage (candles are prohibited)
  • Personal hygiene items
  • Pens, pencils, paper, notebooks
  • Speaker
  • Plastic cups, plates, eating utensils
  • Desk lamp
  • Laundry bag, detergent
  • Hangers
  • Wastebasket
  • Can opener
  • Surge Protector (UL 1449 rated)
  • Rug- 9x12 is a good approximation for most rooms

Although most of these items are not "necessary," having some of them may allow you to personalize your room and make it feel like "home."

For your convenience, we have partnered with Dormify to provide an easy, affordable way to purchase Twin XL bedding, dorm storage solutions, and everything else you'll need (and want) for your new home away from home. Please visit  to get move-in day ready and create your dream dorm!
