What to Bring

Below is a basic list of things you should and should not bring to your new home. Make sure to contact your roommate(s) before moving in so you do not have duplicate items. Keep in mind that you will need to make the most out of a small space! On the right you will find links to pages that discuss common concerns that new residents have as well as ways to meet fresh faces during First Weekend.
