Dorm Room Checklist

Students living on campus should become acquainted with expectations and policies regarding living in an A&M-Kingsville residence hall by reviewing information provided in the Residence Life Guidebook at http://housing.tamuk.edu/policies/index.pdf. This resource provides a lot of great information which will help your move onto campus be a successful one.

Students living on campus should bring with them the following:

• Towels
• Bed linens
• Pillows
• Alarm clock (no one's parent lives here!)
• Clothes hangers

In addition, you may wish to bring the following:

• Laundry bags
• Desk lamp
• Computer
• Television
• Stereo equipment
• Flashlight
• Air popcorn poppers
• Small refrigerator (maximum capacity = 2 cubic feet and must be UL approved)
• Radio

Remember, everything that is moved into a residence hall room must, at some point in time, be moved out! Plan carefully to avoid stress when the end of the school year ends!

For health and safety reasons, the following items are prohibited in the residence halls:

• Microwaves / toaster ovens
• Hot plates
• Hamburger cookers (e.g., George Foreman grills)
• Oven broilers
• Hot oil popcorn poppers
• Hot pots
• Extension cords
• Open flame or electrical stoves / grills
• Halogen lamps
• Air conditions units and/or space heaters
• Propane stoves
• Candles and incense
• Loft furniture

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask someone from our Residence Life Professional Staff, your Residence Advisor, or one of the Desk Clerks in your building!
