Avoid the last-minute stress of packing everything at once! If you start bringing items home over the next few months, your final move-out in June will be quicker, lighter, and way less stressful.

Great Opportunities to Take Stuff Home:

Take advantage of holidays and long weekends when you're already headed home:

• Spring Break: 3/22/25 - 3/30/25
• Easter: 4/20/25
• Memorial Day: 5/26/25

What to Start Packing Now:

Lighten your load in June by gradually packing and taking home items you don’t need for the rest of the year. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Clothing & Gear

• Clothes and shoes you won’t wear again this year
• Heavy winter coats, rain gear, and space heaters
• Seasonal sports gear (snowboarding gear, wetsuits, etc.)

School Supplies

• Textbooks or books you’re done using
• Extra notebooks, folders, or paper you no longer need

Room Decor & Extras

• Picture frames, wall art, and other decor
• Posters, tapestries, and string lights
• Holiday decorations
• Personal keepsakes or souvenirs

Bedding & Home Items

• Extra bedding, throw blankets, or pillows
• Duplicates like extra towels, chargers, or water bottles

Kitchen Supplies

• Extra mugs, utensils, pots, or pans you rarely use
• Small appliances or tools you’re done with for the year

Miscellaneous Items

• Electronics you’re not using (speakers, game consoles, spare cords)
