Halls are not interchangeable
Loft setups and refrigerator arrangements differ from building to building at CSU. Read the assigned hall's page rather than a friend's experience in a different one.
Bed and room basics
Beds take Twin XL bedding. Room style, bathroom type, air conditioning, flooring and storage vary by hall, so wait for the building and room type before buying a rug, large organizers, furniture or shared appliances. Do not assume the loft or fridge arrangement is identical across halls.
Pack these first
- Twin XL bedding
- A fan, since not every hall has air conditioning
- Towels and shower gear for community bathrooms
- Cleaning supplies for suite bathrooms
- Laundry supplies, hangers and compliant surge protection
Rules and smart skips
- Check CSU Housing's current move-in packing list for electrical and appliance restrictions before ordering anything that plugs in.
- Coordinate a MicroFridge with roommates rather than each bringing an appliance.
- A reusable water bottle earns its place here. Fort Collins sits at altitude and the air is dry.
Before move-in
- Follow the official move-in appointment, unloading map and hall instructions.
- Confirm the room assignment and coordinate with roommates first.
- Label belongings and complete the room-condition process on arrival.
