University of Texas at Austin
📍 Austin, TX
The quick take
UT Austin residence-hall rooms use extra-long Twin beds and mattresses.
Bed and room basics
Rooms provide a Twin XL bed and mattress plus hall-specific furniture shown in the individual residence-hall tours. Community, connecting and private bathroom arrangements vary. Residents clean their room or suite and any private or connecting bathroom; custodial staff clean common areas and community bathrooms.
Pack first
Bring Twin XL bedding, mattress pad, pillows, towels, shower caddy and shoes, laundry supplies, hangers, cleaning basics and a permitted surge protector. Bring toilet paper and hand soap for a private or connecting bathroom.
Rules and smart skips
The provided bed, mattress and furniture stay in the room. Do not replace the supplied toilet seat or lid. Review the current Mooov-In guide for appliance, decoration and arrival rules before shopping.
Before move-in
- Confirm your campus, building, room type and bed size.
- Coordinate shared appliances and cleaning supplies.
- Review the latest check-in time, route and unloading rules.
- Keep bedding, identification, medication and chargers accessible.
Hook 'em, then label the boxes. Move-in traffic is not the moment for mystery bins.
