Helpful List of Things to Bring

Remember, each room is provided with:
Desk, Chair, Bed, Dresser. The kitchen will include refrigerator, range top and oven. We will also provide kitchen table and chairs, couch and coffee table. All other furnishings, you may want to discuss with your apartment-mates. Contact info for the people with whom you will be sharing the apartment is provided above.

What NOT to bring...if you have a question about something, call the office. You can also check the lease for a more complete list. Some common things that students ask about that are not allowed are:

  • Appliances that do not have an automatic shut-off function.
  • Candles (even ones you do not plan to burn…)
  • Space Heaters

It is certainly recommended that you bring less instead of more, in terms of “stuff.”  However, with the exception of the prohibited items (candles, weapons, certain appliances, etc.), bring whatever you need to feel comfortable in your new home.  There are plenty of stores, including some wonderful thrift stores, in the Boulder area to pick-up whatever you may forget, or just would prefer not to haul along on your journey to Boulder.

Colorado has a saying, “If you don’t like the weather, wait TWO minutes…It’ll change!”
It’s an appropriate way to convey the change-ability of this area’s weather patterns. It can literally be sunny and in the 60’s  in the morning and snowy and below freezing by the afternoon. Be prepared!
You’ll want to have a variety of clothes for warm, cool, hot & cold temperatures, rain, snow, hail, and sunny weather…mostly sunny weather!In addition to clothing, be sure your footwear accommodates all sorts of terrain as well as all sorts of weather.

You must supply your own dishes pots and pans!  You may also want to discuss these details with your new housemates.
