Move-In Tips For Students:

  • Check your school housing site for their recommended packing list
  • Pack as much as you can in large boxes no bigger than 18x18x24.  Makes it easier to move
  • If you can’t pick it up, it’s too heavy to move
  • Label each box for move-in with name, hall and room number
  • Contact your roommate before you buy anything to see what he or she plans to bring
  • Pack your TV, computer and printer in the boxes that they came in.
  • If you need to travel by air for move-in, purchase your major items in the city/town of the University. 
  • If you plan on living off campus your 2nd year, consider renting a MicroFridge (combo Frig and microwave) for your stay on campus
  • Consider a water program (water cooler and jugs delivered to your door) if attending a school located in a hot climate. Reduces your costs considerably and great for the planet.  
  • A bathrobe is a good investment if your bathroom is down the hall. You'll need a shower caddy to keep all of your shower items
  • Surveys have shown that females bring 33% more stuff to school than males, which asks the question:  “Do you really need that many shoes?”
