What to Bring

Below is a list of items to consider bringing to campus to make you comfortable in your new home. Most students typically go home within the first few weeks of school, so you don’t need to bring everything here all at once. When you go home, you can bring the rest back with you. This will help make your Move-In experience quick and smooth.
