Each room is equipped with one bed, desk, desk chair, dresser, and floor lamp. Room layouts are available here. It is a good idea to check with your roommate(s) to coordinate what each of you will be bringing. You may find the recommendations below helpful in planning your move to campus. The list consists of suggestions based on past students' packing plans, but it should not be considered a comprehensive list of your personal packing needs.
Many of these items may be available for purchase on campus and in the greater Philadelphia area:
