Calling Carolina Home takes planning and preparation. This list will help you navigate what you will need to help make your residence hall room feel like Home.
Try to pack items in reusable storage containers that are durable, easy to carry or large storage bags to make the move-in process easy for you and help us save cut back on trash and recycling during move in.
Label each item with your first and last name, building and room number. If you leave a bin behind our team can help make sure it makes it to your room as quickly as possible.
Pack light and pick up additional items when you arrive. Wait to shop for groceries and supplies when you get here. To save space, leave winter clothes at home and exchange with summer clothes during trips home.
Only ship the essentials to campus! Campus mail will begin accepting packages for the new year beginning in August. Packages should be shipped to your postal information located on your my.sc.edu account.
If you live in 650 Lincoln or Park Place packages are shipped directly to those buildings.
* Please note that whatever mechanism used for hanging items in rooms should not cause damage to walls. Damage to walls is billed back to residents at the conclusion of the school year. Students should note any damage to walls when they arrive via the online room condition report.
