The quick take

UNM traditional doubles and most singles use Twin XL beds, while Laguna/DeVargas singles use full-size mattresses and need Full sheets.

Bed and room basics

Traditional and suite rooms provide a desk and chair, bed and mattress, dresser or built-in drawers, closet space, Wi-Fi and streaming access. Apartment communities add a full refrigerator, oven, range, microwave, dining furniture, living-area furniture and storage.

Pack first

Bring bedding that matches the assignment, pillows, towels, shower caddy and shoes, HE laundry detergent, toiletries, hangers and basic cleaning supplies. Keep identification documents and your LoboCard easy to reach.

Rules and smart skips

Confirm whether you need Twin XL or Full bedding. Apartment residents can skip appliances already supplied. Use the official unloading route, unload promptly and move the car before unpacking.

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.

The full-size single is a lovely perk, unless your sheets missed the memo.
