Packing List
As you prepare to check into your new home on-campus, we've developed a checklist of items聽to bring to campus and what to leave at home.
In Your Room
Each room is furnished with a desk, desk chair, bed, drawers, and shelf space, per resident. We've provided a list of items to best help with your transition at AU. Remember, you will need far less than you imagine and your roommate(s) may bring the same thing as well.聽
