Moving In: What to Bring

<p>Anyone have any info on the necessities to bring? I still don't know, and I need to go shopping for dorm stuff still!</p>

<p>I heard we need to bring the housing booklet we received in the mail. I hope this isn’t true because I can’t find mine lol</p>

<p>I have a list of everything you could possibly need, you dont have to buy everything but it you use the list im sure you wont forget a thing.</p>

<p>This is what I’m planning on using:
[Checklist</a> for college dorm - first year of college](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>Campus Life – BigFuture | College Board)</p>

<p>Just only bring what you thing is essential, some stuff you dont really need like a roll of quarters haha</p>

<p>@TonyThaTiger, I think you needa bring it for them to allow you to go because everyone has a specific move in time, and I suppose you’ll need it to give proof you are who you are?</p>
