Packing List Essentials Fall 2023

Remember you will be sharing a space with your roommate, so talk to them in advance to decide who will bring the items you can share.  Don't forget a hand truck or dolly to help with those big items.  

Bed Risers

If you are bringing a riser for your room they should not exceed 8 inches tall.  Anything taller than 8 inches is considered a loft and must meet University standards for lofting beds in residence hall rooms.
