University of Nevada, Reno
📍 Reno, NV
The quick take
Nevada residence halls use 80-inch Twin XL beds, including Reno assignments. Lake Tahoe residents should follow their hall-specific move-in information.
Bed and room basics
Rooms include a Twin XL bed, desk and chair, chest or built-in drawers, and closet or wardrobe. Bathroom cleaning responsibility varies. Residents outside Juniper, Manzanita and Nye should plan for bathroom cleaning supplies.
Pack first
Bring Twin XL sheets, mattress pad, pillows, towels, shower shoes, toiletries, laundry supplies, hangers and clear stackable storage. One mini-fridge up to 5 cubic feet (fridges under the cap) and one microwave up to 1,000 watts are allowed per room.
Rules and smart skips
Do not bring open-element appliances, personal air conditioners, waterbeds, homemade lofts or bed risers. Coordinate the fridge and microwave so they arrive once, not as a matching set of duplicates.
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.
Reno loves vertical storage. It is less enthusiastic about homemade loft architecture.
