Student's First Week
What to Bring
As a resident at Trinity, your space comes furnished with a twin-sized bed and mattress (36″ x 80″), a desk and chair, dresser, closet space and a bookcase. You have the opportunity to make your space your own. We provide ways for students to loft their beds and the furniture is stackable to make many different configurations. You will be able to customize the arrangement of your room in a way that works for you and your roommates.
This list is a general overview of items that typically are used in the residents halls. We recommend that you consult with your roommate in order to determine who might bring certain items due to space and economic considerations.
Note: All items on this list must, where appropriate, be Underwriters Laboratory (UL) rated.
This is not an all-inclusive list; if you are unsure about an item, please contact the area directors.
