Move-in day is just around the corner at our Sweetwater campus! Our RAs and housing director have shared some helpful tips for students living on campus this fall:
Students are welcome to bring hard-surface furniture, but please keep in mind:
• Plush or upholstered personal furniture, such as bean bags or similar seating, is not allowed.
• Any personal hard-surface furniture should be small, lightweight, and easy for students to assemble.
• Students are responsible for transporting their furniture to their rooms, which may involve carrying it up several flights of stairs.
• Avoid bringing furniture that requires housing staff to move, assemble, or transport.
• Remember that college-provided furniture, including a desk, is already included in the rooms, so less is often more.
The RAs also remind everyone to leave the following items at home: space heaters, hot plates, air fryers, broilers, immersion heaters, or any appliances with exposed heating elements. Additionally, please refrain from bringing candles and incense (even if you don’t plan to light them), Scentsy/wax warmers, plug-in scent devices, Christmas lights, and non-battery-operated string lights.
A great tip for first-time residents: Don’t try to bring your entire bedroom from home. Start with the essentials. After living in your space for a week or two, you'll have a better idea of what you truly need and what will fit.
