Living with a Roommate

Living in a residence hall is more than just having a room located near classrooms. Your room is a starting point from which you can deal with the academic, social, and recreational challenges and opportunities that will be part of your total educational experience. Your room must contain the necessities that support you to get focused and on your way in the morning and into your studies at night, but it also should be a comfortable place where you can relax. The lists below include items you may want to bring . Realize that you do not have to have all the items. Check with your roommate to see what he or she is bringing so you do not double up on items.
