You will soon have the opportunity to turn one approximately 180-square foot area into a living room, bedroom and pantry; a space that, together with your roommate, will become your own “home-away-from-home.”
Basic furniture—a bed, desk, desk chair and a dresser—is provided. But what else will you want to make the area your own? Where to begin? What to bring? Following are ideas from current students beyond the ‘what to bring ’ list posted online.
