Residential Living
what to bring
Moving to Campus The beginning of the school
year is an exciting time where you will be meeting new
people and moving into your new home. Residential
Living encourages you to personalize your room and
make it your new home away from home. Be sure to talk
with your roommate to decide how you’ll be decorating
and organizing your room. You’ll also want to talk to
