Determining what items you should bring to create your perfect room can be a daunting task; check out these recommendations for what to bring for move in, as well as prohibited items you should leave behind. If you are living with a roommate, connect with them to ensure you do not bring duplicate items.
This list may be modified without notice so we recommend that you check back prior to moving into the residence halls. Residence hall furniture is moveable in the room but cannot be taken out of the room.
If you have a question about whether an appliance, decoration, or electrical equipment is permitted and do not see it listed below, please contact the Office of Residence Life & Housing at reslife2 [at] emmanuel.edu (reslife2[at]emmanuel[dot]edu).
