University of Nebraska–Lincoln
📍 Lincoln, NE
The quick take
Nebraska residence halls generally use Twin XL mattresses, with a standard-Twin exception at Kauffman Hall.
Bed and room basics
Most residence-hall beds are 36 x 80-inch Twin XL. Kauffman Hall beds are 36 x 75 inches. Traditional rooms include a bed and mattress, closet, desk and chair, refrigerator in most halls, mirror, window covering, wastebasket, recycling bin and internet. Suite and apartment amenities vary.
Pack first
Bring assignment-size bedding, mattress pad, towels, shower supplies, laundry gear and cleaning basics. Suite and apartment residents need paper products, including toilet paper. Apartment residents should also confirm whether a shower curtain is supplied.
Rules and smart skips
University furniture stays in the room. Check the amenities chart before buying a refrigerator, microwave or kitchen equipment because supplied appliances vary by building.
Before move-in
- Confirm your building, room type and bed size.
- Coordinate shared appliances and cleaning supplies with roommates.
- Review the current arrival route and check-in time.
- Keep bedding, medication, toiletries and chargers easy to reach.
Kauffman is the exception that keeps the bedding aisle interesting.
