Appalachian State University

Bed and room basics

The housing contract lists a Twin bed and mattress in each residence hall room. Confirm dimensions with your assignment before buying sheets. Rooms include core furniture such as a bed, chest, desk, and chair. Building layouts differ.

Pack these first

• Bedding only after confirming mattress length
• Rain gear, layers, and comfortable walking shoes
• Laundry, shower, and desk basics

Rules and smart skips

• Keep university furniture in the room.
• Review your assigned hall page for appliance and decorating limits.
• Coordinate bulky shared items with your roommate.

Boone is beautiful, hilly, and very good at making impractical shoes confess.

Before move-in

• Open your housing assignment and confirm the building, room type, mattress, and included furniture.
• Review the current move-in instructions and prohibited-items list.
• Talk with your roommate before purchasing appliances, rugs, or cleaning gear.
• Measure first. Dorm rooms are excellent at making oversized purchases look ridiculous.
