As you make your plans to pack and move to campus, be sure to review this helpful guide. We’ve provided lists of both the essentials and suggested items to bring – along with the items you need to leave behind.
We suggest you talk with your roommates before buying everything on the list. This way you can maximize the space you have and don’t end up with two of everything. Download the checklist to take with you as you make your shopping list and pack your bags!
If you have a question about bringing a particular item, please email us or call Campus Living at 501-916-3743. We are here to help!
