Residence Life will be approving students on a limited basis and for extraordinary needs.

We are excited to see you on campus! Please select your location below to view a Move-In Map and additional directions for your arrival.

All rooms come furnished with one bed, desk, desk chair and dresser per person. Keep in mind that the room is small and that you will be sharing this space with another person. Talk with your roommate and decide what you will bring with you and what items you can share. Also, make sure to review the list below of items you can't bring. 

As you review this information, please also check out the following vendors with whom we partner for information regarding micro-fridge rental and linen packages. While it is not required to utilize these vendors/options, arranging these items in advance is helpful to some students.

Students may request an extra-long bed or to get their beds bunked during move-in. Facilities Management will assist you. As a reminder, please do not attempt to bunk beds on your own.
