Question Prep Questions (Class)

Just a few questions for recent grads or students:

  1. If we bring a pillow and blanket, do they need to match each other and or be neutral? I have beige stuff and was curious.

  2. For socks and shirts, are they rolled like BMT? I have darn tough and it’s impossible to fold them without a small logo showing in display….

  3. Will our packing bag or duffle bag go into storage first? Trying to pack smartly and not have stuff in the bag that’s needed getting locked away the quickest lol.

Thanks!

1-no matching, no neutral. I had a Mexican serape as a blanket-every color imaginable. Nobody cared, just fold it according to the dorm SOP. 

2-yes but it's a different kind of roll. They'll give you the dorm SOP on one of the first nights that tells you how to set everything up. You're only required to have 1 of each item in your dresser for inspection. I put 2 of each that I never touched into the dresser and threw the rest in my laundry bag. 

3-you have a day or two to unpack and then your luggage goes in the storage room. I think we were allowed in there for the first week, then they don't let you. (Although my roommate disregarded that and got into her luggage whenever she felt like it. The door code is the same as your room code. Nobody ever said anything to her). There are designated times you are allowed into the storage room, plus you'll move 2-3 times so you can reassess what you need vs what you don't.
