I'm Living In The Halls, What Do I Bring?
You've applied to halls, gotten assigned to your room, and now you're starting to pack. Do you bring everything or live a spartan lifestyle? Our recommendation is....only pack what you need, and a few items that bring you comfort and that you enjoy. Our suggestions are below. Remember, whatever you bring, you have to move in and then move out, so be selective! Also, check with roommates to make sure you're not bringing 3 of everything, work as a team!
