Moving into a residence hall is quite the experience. You may have your own room at home, but moving into a residence hall is a different story. Your room is now your home away from home.
It can be difficult to remember everything that you will need to bring with you. This list is designed to help you as you pack. It is highly recommended that you contact your roommate as soon as you can so that you both can determine who will bring certain items. Don't worry, if you forget anything stores such as Target, Wal-Mart, Office Max, and the Prime Outlets are less than five minutes from campus!
