Do not use a regional campus list
Pitt-Bradford and Pitt-Johnstown publish their own packing details. Those do not apply to an Oakland assignment, and the bed size can differ.
Bed and room basics
Oakland housing spans traditional halls, suites, hotels converted for student use, and apartments, and bed size and appliances vary by building. Room type, bathroom, kitchen, air conditioning and storage all differ, so wait for the exact assignment before buying bedding, rugs, organizers, furniture or shared appliances. University furniture stays in the room.
Pack these first
- Bedding specified for the assigned building
- Towels and shower supplies
- Laundry basics and hangers
- A fan where useful
- Approved electrical protection
Rules and smart skips
- Confirm refrigerator and microwave provisions and current appliance rules through Panther Central rather than assuming.
- Delay large storage purchases until the room is measured.
- Coordinate shared items with the roommate once the assignment is released.
Before move-in
- Follow Panther Central's assigned arrival date, unloading pass, parking route, and key or access process.
- Check the cart guidance before planning how much to bring in one trip.
- Label belongings and bring Pitt identification.
- Document the room condition before unpacking.
