NOTES FOR PACKING
- WHEN YOU MOVE IN:
- prepare some sort of bag with cleaning materials! I had a small bag with some
scissors to open boxes, some wipes, etc. Dorm rooms are cleaned but they can
still be kinda gross so make sure you wipe down surfaces, etc.
- also PREPARE YOUR PARKING PERMITS/MOVE IN SLIPS . You’ll be
able to see this through your housing portal on August 4th, please have some sort
of folder with all of this information in it! Also be prepared to have some sort of
ID on hand for the moving boxes.
- MAKE SURE TO KEEP SOME OF THE BOXES/PACKING TAPE/OTHER ASSORTED
PACKING STUFF SO ITS EASIER WHEN U MOVE OUT
- also note that trashbags, vacuums, irons are all provided in your dorm so you dont need
to buy one
- the trashbags are kind of flimsy, but you can always double bag
- note that some of this stuff can be bought up in Ithaca, but note that target/walmart etc
will probably be pretty empty when you move in/start selling out of stuff because
EVERYONE is trying to buy stuff so be prepared to wait to buy some essentials if you go
down that route
- as well, amazon takes about a week to deliver things up to ithaca (even with prime!) so
don’t rely on that
- ALSO MAKE A COPY OF THIS LIST! YOU CAN JUST CLICK THE CHECKLIST AS YOU
GO
- ALSO WHEN YOU MOVE IN. HAVE A BAG OF CLEANING SUPPLIES THAT YOU CAN
USE TO WIPE DOWN EVERYTHING. YOU DONT KNOW WHERE THINGS HAVE
BEEN!
bath and bedding
comforter + duvet cover
bedsheets/fitted sheet (2)
would suggest getting two sets of bedsheets so you don’t need to rewash sheets as often/having
an extra pair in case
pillows (2)
throw pillows
mattress pad/topper
straps for keeping mattress pad on (can be useful, i didnt use mine when i ordered it)
towels (hand/bath)
GET A BUNCH!!!! you will always be needing small towels or smth esp if you spill stuff
shower shoes/flip flops (important)
shower basket
plastic shower baskets are nice because they won't mold
throw basket/blankets
towel rack
I found this command strip one that would be really useful if you like to hang your towels out
to dry!
mattress protector
for a musty bed lol
