Are you going to remember to bring your alarm clock? Or what about flip-flops for the shower? With all the excitement that takes place on move-in day, it's easy to forget the bare essentials. Our university housing website will provide you with all the information you need to assure a smooth transition to your new “home away from home." You may also find it helpful to review the Undergraduates’ Residents Guide. Students will receive their housing assignments by email during the second week of July.
