*This is a room decorated with personal belongings of the room occupants and does not represent a typical CMU residence hall room furnishings.

Unless you know all your roommates and what they will be bringing to campus, we suggest you pack conservatively when you first move into your hall. Many students go home over Labor Day weekend and bring back things they have forgotten or decide they need at that time.

Many students purchase carpet remnants for their residence hall room. Often, there are local companies selling remnants during opening weekend.

Whatever you end up bringing to CMU, make your residence hall room as unique as you are!
