What to Bring?

Consider these suggestions when deciding what to pack for your move to campus. Your residence hall room already includes a bed, desk, desk chair, dresser or wardrobe, and a mini fridge with a microwave. Rooms in Byrum include a standard-sized refrigerator and microwave. We encourage students to contact their roommates before moving to campus; there may be items that you want to share and should discuss before making any purchases.
