Move In

Residence Halls are open for new students on Thursday, August 20 beginning at 10:00 a.m. When new students arrive on campus, student leaders will be at the dorms ready and willing to help unload vehicles. New students are free to spend the day acquainting themselves with their rooms and moving in. The first required student Orientation event begins at 2:30 in Edman Chapel.

Things to Bring From A to Z

The following are suggestions of things to bring to campus. Some are necessities, others are optional. Remember that you don't need to bring everything with you at one time. Many students choose to arrive on-campus and "scope out" their room, space limitations and roommate's preferences before purchasing items. There are many stores in the Wheaton area.
