How to pack:
- Pack things that you’ll need immediately in small suitcases
or duffel bags (This makes for easy access). You may also pack items in
crates or plastic storage bins, which can be used for decoration and
storage in your room. Engrave your driver’s license number on all your
valuables — TV, DVD player, bicycle, and your computer are just a few
items you should consider. Engravers may be checked out from your resident
hall office.
- Label all boxes as you pack them. When you are ready to unpack contents,
you’ll know what’s where. If you are shipping items, write the contents on
the inside flap of the box. Be sure to ship items to your P.O Box, not
University Housing.
