When deciding what to bring to college, it is always a good idea for students to contact suitemates and communicate on items. Deciding who will bring what will help you avoid having two of everything (or forgetting something you\u2019ll need).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If packing everything is daunting, or if you forget something, don\u2019t panic! There are several retail and grocery stores near the University of Michigan-Flint. Remember, it is not about bringing everything you need with you. Make a list and check off what you need and will use. If you live nearby, you might want to bring your clothes in shifts, so you don\u2019t have to store everything in your room. We also encourage you to leave sentimental or valuable items at home for your safety. Keep this list at home in the event that something is lost or stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a list of what to bring to campus.

If you would like to bring an area rug or carpet, you are welcome to do so. You cannot get carpet installed in your suite\/room. Your suite\/room is fully furnished, but if you want additional items, that is fine. All furniture that is provided must stay in the suite throughout the duration of the year. We want you to make your room have a personality. When you decorate, you need to remember the guidelines created to keep the residence hall in good condition. You can not drill holes in the wall or paint.
