A packing list will be shared in mid-late June with suggested items for your room and arrival needs. In the meantime, you can look at the floor plans of all residential buildings here. You will need your NetID to log in, which you’ll receive in late May.

Microfridges are the safe and only way you have both a microwave and fridge in your college dormitory. We have certain restrictions on refrigerators and microwaves.

More information about microfridges, refrigerators, freezers, and other housing specific regulations can be found at this link: Dormitory and Annex Regulations
