What to Bring
We recommend that you contact your roommate before purchasing larger shared items for your residence hall room.
What you should bring…
- Residence Hall Linens: Asbury University has extra long mattresses which are longer than 76 inches. These extra-long beds require specifically-sized sheets, comforters and blankets. Therefore, we have partnered with Residence Hall Linens since 2005. On move-in day it's important to have those XL sheets that can be hard to find. Our goal is to make sure every parent and student is ready with the right size sheets, so we offer a huge variety of custom-sized linens guaranteed to fit your residence hall bed and to last until graduation. We also provide a selection of extra-long thermal blankets, extra-long mattress pads, pillows, storage solutions, extra-long comforters and anything else you will need.
- Wastebasket
- Shower Caddy
- Iron (ironing boards are available in the residence halls)
- Laundry basket, HE laundry detergent
- Telephone (if you plan to use the on-campus phone system). There is one phone jack per room. The campus phone system includes a private voicemail box for each student. A room phone is a matter of personal choice but is a good idea if you have no cell phone or have limited minutes on your plan.
- Alarm clock, etc.
You may want to bring…
