W.I.T Housing-What to Bring and Not Bring

What students should bring to the residence halls
What students should not bring to the residence halls

The two lists below represent what students should be bringing to their residence hall assignments in the fall.

It is highly recommended that students communicate with their roommates and/or suitemates prior to arrival, so there are not 2 or 3 televisions, refrigerators or video game systems coming to the rooms.

Because most students share a room with one or two other students, it is important to make the best use of the room space as possible.

Some students find that they send home items the first weekend after move-in.

What students should bring to the residence halls

For Bedroom	Extra long sheets and pillowcases Mattress pad Pillows; blanket or comforter Our beds are regular twin-sized (76" long) for the first 1-2 years, but we recommend that students purchase the extra-long sheets (80" long) since they will more than likely live in residence halls with them in their last two years at WIT. Having trouble finding extra-long bedding? We have partnered with Residence Hall Linens to provide you with a convenient, affordable option for ordering all of your campus living needs.
