Students express themselves in many creative ways while filling and decorating their rooms. Here are a few lists to help you shop and pack for your new campus home.
As you're packing, please label every box and every item you are moving with your name and room number. We will do our best to make sure your belongings make it to your room, but clear labeling certainly makes this easier on our Move-In Crews.
