Residence Hall Essentials Checklist
Advice From Students
- "Bring food containers and utensils. Don’t be left eating snacks with your fingers.”
- “Bring cleaning supplies so you can keep your room clean. Health & safety inspections are held once a month and they check to make sure you cleaned!”
- “Don’t bring all your stuff on the first day. Wait until you get settled to buy just what you need.”
- “Bring an extra set of sheets to use on laundry day.”
- “Call your roommate before you arrive to arrange the plans for check in day. Try to arrive at the same time so that no one feels left out.”
- “Get to know your roommate so you know their likes and dislikes.”
- “Don’t use nails, tacks or screws on the walls. You will have to pay for damages.”
- “Make sure you meet your RA when you arrive. She/he will help you when you have questions."
- “Don’t cut carpet to fit your room! Just bring an area rug."
- “Always carry your student ID card with you.”
- “Don’t be afraid to ask questions.”
- “Make sure you set an alarm so you don’t miss class!”
