Use our handy list to pull together what you need. Remember, large items can be shipped and many stores are within a short distance from the College. Visit Bed Bath & Beyond for tips, room planning, and to "shop college." It may be useful to bring a cart or dolly to move items into your student's dorm room. Limited dollies/carts are available during orientation, at no charge, through the mailroom at Story House.
