Surge protectors are hall-specific

ECU warns that surge protectors can interfere with built-in protection in Ballard, Scott, Clement, White and Greene. Check the hall-specific rule before buying one.

Bed and room basics

Beds take Twin XL bedding sized for an 80-inch mattress. Room types, bathrooms, air conditioning, flooring and storage vary, and hall pages publish room measurements and 360-degree tours, so use them before purchasing a rug, large organizers, furniture or shared appliances. Do not remove supplied furniture.

Pack these first

  • Twin XL bedding
  • Towels and shower shoes
  • Laundry supplies and hangers
  • Cleaning supplies
  • The electrical protection specified for the assigned building

Rules and smart skips

  • Many halls already provide a microwave and MicroFridge, so check before buying either.
  • Confirm the hall's surge protector rule before packing one.
  • Coordinate any loft rental rather than bringing risers.

Before move-in

  • Label boxes with name, Banner ID and room assignment.
  • Use the hall's drop-off route and current check-in instructions.
  • Carts are limited, so bringing a dolly helps.
  • Review the assigned hall page for air conditioning, elevator access, bed height and appliance provisions.
