Packing List!

Hello everyone,

So here I’ve made a list of all of the essentials for a dorm room at Carolina. 

Most freshmen will be in a room that comes equipped with a bed, desk, chair, dresser & wardrobe (or closet for some).  Note that Ehringhaus, Craige, and Hinton James also have their furniture built into the walls, and there is storage space included.

*I’ll add to this if I remember other things, so keep checking back.  Also if you want recommendations for brands of anything, or need me to clarify something, just ask!
