Your journey is
just beginning.

 

MOVE-IN GUIDE

Get a jump-start on your packing.

Below is a list of items that many students use while in college. It’s not a complete list, nor is it necessary to have everything on the list. And don’t worry about bringing everything at once. Wait and see what you really need before purchasing items.

Every room in the residence hall is equipped with a bunkbed (extra-long twin), desk and chair, armoire/drawers for each student.

New students are provided a complimentary laundry card which functions like a debit card. Students add money to their card to pay for laundry on campus.

List of what you should bring to campus:

  • Personal décor to spice up your dorm
  • Loads of blankets and pillows — to keep you comfy
  • Bedsheets (Twin XL) and a mattress pad, to ensure a good night’s sleep
  • Winter clothes. Seriously, Minnesota gets chilly! So grab a parka and some boots
  • Alarm clock (or alarm clock app — really anything so you aren’t late for class)
  • Cleaning supplies — to keep your place neat and tidy
  • Clothes hangers — to keep you looking good
  • Wastebasket
  • Laundry detergents and baskets
  • Shower curtain
  • Towels and washcloths
  • Laptop. (If you don’t have a laptop, computers are available on campus during most business hours)

List of what you might consider bringing to campus:

  • Mini-Fridge (4.3 cu.ft. or less) — to keep the energy drinks cold. (Refrigerators are provided in Weldin, Tewinkel, and Faith Village)
  • Swimwear, to tour Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes
  • Power strip, to plug in all your gadgets
  • Desk/floor lamp — in case you want a bit more ambiance
  • Desk supplies (organizer, stapler, scissors, ruler, calculator, pens, etc.)
  • Board games and cards, for roommate bonding time
  • Raincoat and/or umbrella, in case of unexpected precipitation
  • Iron and ironing board
  • Bike with a lock
  • Extra wastebasket
  • Shower caddy
  • Speakers
  • Fan – for those warm fall and spring evenings

List of things that you cannot bring to campus:

  • Candles, or pretty much anything that has an open flame (we prefer our buildings to not be on fire).
  • Halogen lamps (still don’t want our buildings on fire).
  • Appliances with open heating elements (toasters, hot plates, space heaters, etc. — still don’t want our buildings on fire).
  • Weapons of any kind, including airsoft and paintball gear.
  • Pets, unless it’s a fish (fish are friends, not food).
  • Fireworks of any kind (pretty much anything that explodes).
  • Microwaves (residence halls have microwaves provided in the community kitchens).
