Clothes hangers
Alarm clock
Surge protector (power strip of high quality)
Toiletries
Basket or container for carrying things down the hall to the bathroom/showers

You can personalize your space to make it your room with items from home as long as the room is not damaged. You can coordinate with your roommate what other items you plan to bring (especially larger things like TV's). The following list can give you some ideas about what other students have brought/coordinated with their roommates:

Wall/door decorations (must be hung with removable adhesive, NO NAILS or things that will pull off paint)
Plants
Iron
Air freshener
Dishes, silverware, basic cooking utensils for snacks
Snacks: lemonade for summer or hot cocoa for winter

Paper towels and cleaning supplies (vacuums are available for student use)
Computer (there is a lab available in each hall with 24-hour access)
Radio, stereo, CDs and tapes
TV, VCR, DVD player
Cards and games
Sports and recreational equipment (Note: pool tables, ping-pong tables, outdoor basketball and volleyball courts, a climbing wall, indoor basketball and volleyball courts, and a weight room are located on campus)

Please keep in mind that most of what you bring needs to fit in your room as there is limited storage space in the apartments. Also, personal belongings are not covered under the college insurance policy. Check with your homeowner's insurance to see if your belongings are covered in a residence hall. All residents are encouraged to purchase renter's or apartment insurance if they are not covered under another policy.
