The University provides each student with a bed, desk, chair, dresser and window shade. This is true whether you are living in a traditional residence hall, a suite-style accommodation, or an apartment. Some double and triple rooms have only one closet to share with your roommate(s).
Please use the below list as a guideline and choose what is essential for you. We recommend that you communicate with your roommate and do not over-pack. After the start of term rush, you can have additional items shipped to you.
It is recommended you pack in duffel bag style options that can be folded for storing, if possible, as space in your room will be limited, and these type of bags can remain with you for repacking when you depart.
While early September will have some hot days, the Fall climate in Boston cools quickly, dropping from average high temperatures of 73°F to 62°F by October.

*In all traditional and suite-style accommodations you are not permitted to bring your own microwave, therefore, if you wish to have a microwave you may rent a micro-fridge prior to moving to campus. To find out more information about renting a micro-fridge, please visit the Vendor Information page.
*This is not meant to be a comprehensive list. Please see the Guide to Residence Hall Living for more details. Roommates may want to decide together on what to bring, either in advance or shopping together after move-in.
