<p>The beds are attached to the floor, so don’t bring bed risers. A rug is a good idea, and so is a fan. You’ll need a lamp and small shelf for your food and stuff. Kins doesn’t have much storage. The beds aren’t very comfortable, so get a mattress topper. The memory foam ones are awesome.
Get an ID holder that has a key chain attached. It’s really useful to have your ID and key together (you’ll bring them everywhere). Don’t bring so much food at the beginning. Once you get into a routine with the food, you can figure out how many snacks and non-campus food you’ll want. I’d recommend a Brita water filter.
If you’re planning on putting things on the wall, you should get some poster tape. Kins doesn’t have a big board on the wall like some of the other dorms.
A dry erase board is a good idea for taking down notes like to-do lists. And some post-its. I leave them on my desk and put reminders on them.
Bring a bike if you can. They’re really handy, especially when you have friends who live in the Jester area.</p>
