Many
articles listed on the "Essential Items" and "Optional
Items" lists could/should be shared between roommates. Residence hall
rooms are not spacious enough to allow each occupant to bring all items
listed in the above section. For this reason, the Office of Housing and
Residence Life will supply each incoming student with the home address and
telephone number (when available) of his/her new roommate. Providing roommate
information and determining in advance what each roommate will contribute
allows for optimum room organization.
