Items already in your room:

• a closet
• a phone
• table lamp
• internet/phone/electricity
• a dresser with drawers
• curtains

What you should bring:

• bedding (single bed sheets) and pillows
• towel and shower shoes
• computer, if you have one
• a bowl, plate, cup and one set of cutlery
• pictures and decorations to personalize your room
• a rug if you are in Alex Hall and your floor is tiled
• closet hangers
• extra toilet paper and Kleenex

Unfortunately, we cannot accept boxes, packages or trunks prior to your arrival, so please don’t send your belongings to the College before you arrive. Neither can we store items over the summer as our residence buildings are operated as conference space and hotel accommodations from May until August.

Early Drop-Off

Due to ongoing preparations for the start of the year, students are not permitted to move in to residence prior to the official move-in date. You may arrange for early drop-off of your belongings to your room at special dates and times prior to move-in. Please contact the Residence Office for details.

Storage

Unfortunately, we do not have any storage space available on campus, so please pack accordingly.
