Here is a list of things you will need to bring and leave at home! Click on each section for more information!
Bedding and Linens
Linens
Every year, our goal is to ensure that every student arrives with the right size XL sheets on move-in day. This bedding can be tricky to find so we have made available a varied selection of custom-sized bedding that’s assured to fit and last until graduation. We also have a wide selection of extra-long comforters, extra-long mattress pads, pillows, storage solutions, extra-long thermal blankets, and anything else you may need for your new college residence hall room.
