Bed and room basics

Mattress size depends on the community. Helaman and Heritage generally use Twin XL, except David John Hall uses standard Twin. Language Immersion uses standard Twin. Riviera may use Twin or Twin XL, and Wyview uses Twin XL. BYU provides mattress pads, but students bring their own linens. Furniture and decorating rules vary by community.

Pack these first

• Bedding matched to the exact community and building
• Laundry, bathroom, and kitchen supplies appropriate to the unit
• A fan, study supplies, and comfortable walking shoes

Rules and smart skips

• Check the community move-in page before buying bedding.
• Review community-specific decorating and appliance rules.
• Coordinate shared kitchen and cleaning supplies with roommates.

This is one guide where guessing the bed size can become an expensive hobby.

Before move-in

• Confirm the building, room type, mattress, and provided furniture.
• Read the latest official move-in and prohibited-items guidance.
• Decide who is bringing shared appliances and cleaning supplies.
• Measure first, shop second, avoid explaining a giant rug to your family later.
