Things You Need to Bring for Your Apartment

Moving into your campus apartment is exciting! Not only do you get to live in community with your peers, you also get to personalize your space to make your new apartment feel like home.

Packing for college can feel daunting, and if you’re not sure what you will need with you, it’s easy to overpack and yet, still forget some essentials.

To make sure the move-in process is as easy as possible, we put together a list of things that you should bring to your new apartment on the CCU campus — as well as things that are better left behind.
