Rules and smart skips

• One refrigerator under 4.5 cubic feet is allowed per two students.
• Microwaves must be 800 watts or less. 800-watt microwaves · Fridges under 4.5 cu ft
• Apartment and suite residents should check whether they need household supplies such as toilet paper.

New England has four seasons, sometimes before lunch.

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.
