<p>What does your dorm come with?</p>
<p>At some point in time, you should receive a residence halls brochure with that info. (At least my friend in Early Fall Start did.) As far as I can remember, there is a bed (but bring bedding, of course), a desk, a wardrobe, shelves, drawers, and a bulletin board. I might have missed something, though.</p>
<p>That’s it. You “need to bring” a small personal fan (there is no AC). You need TXL sheets, blanket, pillow, maybe a foam bed pad, clothes, laptop with ethernet cable (yep!) , a couple of extension cords and a good surge protector, a laptop lock (definitely more important than you’d think!), maybe a towel bar or hook (the kind that you don’t need to screw in) for the wardrobe door, robe since coed floors, towels, desk lamp, shower tote. </p>
<p>You can walk with everyone else to Bartels Drugs a few blacks away on the Ave and get laundry supplies and soap, shampoo, etc, and most of that stuff is in the shop in Terry-Lander.</p>
<p>It appears many people brought their favorite card or board game to play… so I would put this item in “need to bring” column since gaming is something people are doing all the time.</p>
<p>There is a mall three miles north of campus on I5 called Northgate (the North Gate exit, right off the freeway). They have all the stuff you need if you didn’t bring anything but clothes. If you come a day early or have an afternoon move in, you can go there to stock up on anything you forgot. Many people use the Bed Bath Beyond shipping service. (University Village mall just north of campus is a waste of time since they carry just high end clothes and nothing practical, though there is a good grocery store there and a huge Bartels drug store.)</p>
<p>You can ship stuff ahead to the dorm if you are out of state. We shipped 4 boxes and were able to move it using their dolly.</p>
<p>Is there a mirror inside the dorm room?</p>
<p>most rooms have multiple mirrors. pretty sure all have at least one</p>
<p>A mirror was on the inside of the door in the wardrobe. Ours was broken and at chest level. If you need a mirror, a small stick on mirror might be a good idea.</p>
