University of Missouri
📍 Columbia, MO
The quick take
Mizzou residence halls use 80-inch Twin mattresses, so Twin XL or deep-pocket bedding is the safest choice.
Bed and room basics
Residence-hall mattresses are approximately 80 inches long. Beds are adjustable, and the official checklist notes that standard, jersey, extra-long and deep-pocket sheets may work. Room furnishings and bathrooms differ by hall.
Pack first
Bring bedding, mattress pad, pillows, shower tote and shoes, towels, laundry supplies, cleaning gear, trash bags, hangers and under-bed storage. A rubber mallet may be useful for an approved bed-height adjustment. Bring a cart or hand truck for move-in.
Rules and smart skips
Coordinate any item limited to one per room with roommates. Apartment residents do not need a personal mini-fridge or microwave when those appliances are already supplied. Use only approved products for wall decorations.
Before move-in
- Confirm your campus, building, room type and bed size.
- Coordinate shared appliances and cleaning supplies.
- Review the latest arrival and unloading instructions.
- Pack first-night essentials where you can reach them.
Two roommates, one room and three duplicate appliances is not a system.
