Suggested Items to Bring when Living in Traditional Halls
What's in your room? Each resident will have two of the following:
desk, desk chair, wardrobe, footlocker, dresser, and bed
(see "Loft Policy" for more information).
There is a network (Ethernet) jack and telephone jack for each resident, and
cable TV outlet for each room. All these furnishings must stay in
your room all year. You may not remove or store any item for any reason!
Packing for your move: Most students bring too much stuff! Please "pack light" for your first trip to campus. Call your roommate before you come, to coordinate who will bring the largest and heaviest items. Remember that we have easily accessible stores close to campus, so if you forget something, you can get it here! Last, storage in your room is limited to your wardrobe, footlocker, and under your bed. There are no storage rooms in any of our halls.
