What to Bring
All rooms come furnished with one bed, desk, desk chair and dresser per person. Keep in mind that the room is small and that you will be sharing this space with another person. Talk with your roommate and decide what you will bring with you and what items you can share. Also, make sure to review the list below of items you can't bring.
As you review this information, please also check out the following vendors with whom we partner for information regarding micro-fridge rental and linen packages. While it is not required to utilize these vendors/options, arranging these items in advance is helpful to some students.
