CLEANING SUPPLIES – Cleaning wipes and sprays, laundry supplies, and surface cleaners are essential to keeping your living space clean. 

LINENS -  All students will need to provide their own sheets, a blanket or comforter, and a pillow.  All of the mattresses are extra-long twin and require extra-long twin sheets.

TOWELS & TOILETRIES - Along with a bath towel and shower curtain, students should also plan to bring a shower caddy to carry items to and from the bathroom.

EMERGENCY SUPPLIES - The Housing Office encourages students to consider keeping items such as a flashlight, batteries, and any other personal emergency supplies in their room.  Additionally, it is suggested that students keep and maintain a minimum 3 day supply of medications, water, and non-perishable items for any specific dietary needs. 

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS - Additional items that should be considered include: an alarm clock, a study lamp, an iron, and a laundry bag.  If you plan to bring a bicycle, also plan to bring a heavy-duty bicycle lock to lock your bicycle outside on the various bike racks near the residence hall.

ROOM DECOR - Please consider decorations prior to your arrival.   Students are not allowed to remove any university issued furniture or permanently alter rooms.  The painting of rooms is not allowed. You may hang posters and similar materials on the walls to personalize your room and make it your own. Please be sure to use a hanging method that does not cause permanent damage to the walls that may result in damage charges upon moving out. Items we recommend include blue painters tape or 3M command strips.  Textile materials such as sheets, nets, or other large pieces of fabric may not be hung from walls or ceilings for fire-safety reasons.  Students may not bring Christmas lights or adhesive lights to the room.  Plants, posters, and pictures are all excellent means by which to personalize your room.
