Quick take
Confirm your exact hall and room before buying anything bulky. Housing details can change, and the assignment page always wins.
Bed and room basics
University Housing lists 36-by-80-inch Twin XL mattresses. Room dimensions, furniture, and building features vary. Check your assigned residence hall before buying storage that may not fit.
Pack these first
- Twin XL sheets and mattress protection
- A compact fan and layered bedding
- Shower, laundry, and desk essentials
Rules and smart skips
- Microwaves must be under 800 watts.
- Refrigerators must be under 5.5 cubic feet and 1.5 amps. Fridges under the cap · 800-watt microwaves
- Coordinate appliances and shared items with your roommate first.
Your dorm room has many talents. Being a warehouse is not one of them.
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.
