What to Bring

What Should I Bring?

Based on the advice of the students who have come before you, below is a list of what you will likely need or want in your room. Keep in mind that over the next two years you will be moving at the beginning, middle, and end of every school year. Therefore, we recommend you start by bringing only the necessities. Be sure to pack everything in boxes that you can lift and carry, as you may need to carry your belongings on and off shuttles by yourself, or across campus to your residence.

While we include a list of necessities below, you do not need to have every item in hand on the day you move in. For your first night, be sure that you have bed linens, a blanket, an alarm clock, a towel, essential toiletries, and a jacket. Almost everything on the list below can be purchased locally or online. There are a number of stores (including Bed, Bath, and Beyond, Wal-Mart, and Target) located within a few miles of campus, as well as several specialty shops in downtown Prescott.

Your room will include the following, so you will not need to pack, ship, or purchase these items:

• Two twin beds (one for each roommate)

• Overhead light

• Wall-to-wall carpeting

• Small closet or freestanding wardrobe (shared or individual)

• Desk and chair (for each roommate)

• Window covering

• Heating system
