Dorm rooms have two beds, two desks, a wall mirror, and two closet/dresser units. Students should bring linens for extra-long twin beds, lamps (non-halogen), area rugs, posters, towels, bathroom items, night lights, computer(s), electronic equipment, surge protector power strips, wastebaskets, and other items to create your home-away-from-home. You may bring your own small refrigerator and/or microwave for use in your room. Refrigerators must be no larger than 2.5 cubic feet or taller than 32 inches high. Check with your roommate so you don’t double-up on appliances. Additional furniture is allowed.
