Miami University
📍 Oxford, OH
Heritage Commons is the exception
Most Oxford halls use 80-by-36-inch Twin XL mattresses. Heritage Commons uses full-size beds, so wait for the assignment before buying bedding.
Bed and room basics
Residence hall mattresses are typically 80 by 36 inches and take Twin XL sheets, with Heritage Commons the stated full-bed exception. A refrigerator is provided in standard student rooms. Room size, air conditioning, furniture style and bathroom setup vary by building, and assigned hall pages carry the best furniture dimensions.
Pack these first
- Bedding in the size the assignment confirms
- Pillows, towels and shower supplies
- Laundry supplies and hangers
- Study materials, chargers and approved power protection

Rules and smart skips
- Skip a second refrigerator. Standard rooms already have one.
- Check current housing rules before buying a microwave, cooking device or lighting.
- Miami warns that adhesive LED-light tape can cause chargeable wall damage, so pick a different decorating route.
Before move-in
- Housing assignments and official arrival information are sent directly to the student.
- Follow the assigned date, route, check-in, unloading and parking instructions.
- Bring identification and label belongings.
- Photograph the room before unpacking and document existing damage.
