Å·ÃÀAƬ

 

Getting ready to move into your room Å·ÃÀAƬ is one of the most exciting times of the year. It's fun to reflect your personality and create a relaxing haven in the midst of campus.

You will be free to customize your space - decorating possibilities are endless as long as you remember to abide by some basic guidelines. Housing and Residence Life has put together a list of things that will help you organize for your move-in to campus, including a list of items that are not allowed and should be left at home. Be sure to get in touch with your roommate(s) and suitemates to coordinate items that can be shared (such as rugs, appliances, décor, etc.)
