Now, she has conversations with prospective students that include her advice for residence hall life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome students come in very worried about having never shared a room before,\u201d Lull said. \u201cI make sure that they\u2019re aware of knowing how we match roommates and their ability to contact a roommate in advance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After easing those concerns, and given her first-hand experience, Lull suggests considering what <em>not <\/em>to bring, communicating early and often with roommates, and including a few personal items that can make your room feel more like home and smooth your transition on move-in day, September 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What not to bring<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lull said what not to bring to campus is just as important as what to bring. Residential Living has a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/reslife.kzoo.edu\/housingandboardpolicies\/#208\">prohibited items<\/a>. Plus, the idea that less is more can save space in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMore often than not, I had too much in my room my first year,\u201d she said. \u201cI often thought, \u2018Why do I have all of this?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A convenience item such as a microwave might seem like a good idea, she said, yet each hall lounge has one that\u2019s immediately available, so it might not be a critical item. Rethink bringing anything that might just take up space or anything you can buy later in Kalamazoo. Residential Life doesn\u2019t keep floor-plan measurements for specific rooms. However, students may look at pictures of residence hall rooms in K\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/tour\">virtual tour<\/a> to estimate their potential floor space and where space might be tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one exception to the less-is-more idea might be cold-weather clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne thing for some\u2014for out-of-state students especially\u2014would be the importance of bringing sweaters and winter coats,\u201d Lull said. \u201cWhen the first cold weather comes in October, many are stuck with only a pair of jeans and flip flops.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Communication is key<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even someone who is shy will benefit from reaching out to their assigned roommate before arriving on campus. K students living on campus this fall should already have received their room assignment with their roommate\u2019s name and kzoo.edu email address. Sometimes the benefit is ensuring you don\u2019t bring more than one of the same item. Other times, it helps set agreements between roommates as they get to know each other\u2019s personal routines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy first roommate and I weren&#8217;t the best of friends, but we got along in the necessary areas,\u201d Lull said. \u201cI think the issues we had were all a lack of communication, whether that was in the moving process or later on. I think it&#8217;s a lot easier if you can talk to them in advance, so you don\u2019t show up with two coffeemakers, two refrigerators or multiple items of everything in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Home sweet home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When packing, think about bringing a couple personal items you can set up out of the way to help your space feel a little more like home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA lot of our decorations were things we could sit on our desk or put on the walls with sticky tape,\u201d Lull said. \u201cI also had window stickers we could put up. Other than that, we didn&#8217;t necessarily have a ton of stuff. I had string lights to hang pictures from home. My mom made me a pillow that had a picture of me and my dog on it. We also got rugs for the tile floor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The week ahead<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019re settled, the adventure of orientation begins. A <a href=\"https:\/\/fye.kzoo.edu\/orientation-schedule\/\">schedule for orientation<\/a> is available at the first-year experience website, and Lull suggests participating as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think orientation is a really good time to meet a lot of people,\u201d she said. \u201cSome people don&#8217;t take advantage of that. Some think, \u2018Well, I&#8217;m really tired at 8 a.m. They&#8217;re not going to know if I don&#8217;t show up.\u2019 But how many people are you not meeting because you weren&#8217;t there? I think students should be open minded and ready to meet and do everything. Buy coffee if you need to wake up, dress in layers if it\u2019s cool in the morning, and take a water bottle with you in case it gets hot.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Incoming students have great sources for information on what to bring to campus including Residential Living\u2019s guidance and advice from recent alumni.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":147,"featured_media":14871,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[231],"tags":[217],"post_formats":[],"class_list":["post-14864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-students","tag-first-year-experience"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
