Student Life - Housing Packing Checklist

Moving into your new dorm room or apartment can be quite an adjustment, especially if it is your first time living away from home.  Bringing some personal things from home may help to make the new space your own.  If you know your roommate before you move in, coordinate with him or her so you don’t duplicate items. 

Living in one Garrett's residence halls is a great opportunity to meet new people and make friends that will last a lifetime.  Remember that everyone is in the same situation you are.  Be tolerant of other people and their living habits.  Make an effort to meet lots of new people and get involved in campus activities and the student clubs

Garrett Hall rooms offer a mini fridge and microwave.  Laker Hall apartments come equipped with a full kitchen.  Rooms in both halls have extra-long twin beds.
