Movin' In Checklist Print E-mail

Below is a list of items we recommend you consider getting when you move in to your residence hall in the fall. We do not recommend you bring all of these items from home all at once. There are many stores in the area where you can purchase these items. We also recommend you contact your roommate to coordinate which items (i.e. TV, VCR, Microwave, etc.) each of you will bring. To find out who your roommate will be, check your housing assignment or contact the Housing/Residence Life Office.
