Everyone at Elmira College is already looking ahead to this fall when we welcome our new students to campus. To help you transition to college life, the Residence Life team will share tips and tricks in our Move-In Monday articles now through August 25.
We’re starting the series with a list of recommended items for you to pack and a list of items to toss in the “stay-at-home” pile. And don’t worry, if you forget something, there are many local shopping options, such as grocery, discount, specialty, and big-box stores, all located within a 15-minute drive from campus.
View and print the EC packing list.
You and your family will want to consider renting a MicroFridge through the EC program. For those who choose this option, the fridge and microwave combo will be waiting in your room on move-in day. If you opt not to participate in the MicroFridge program, just remember that personal microwaves are prohibited and fridges should be the standard mini size.
We also asked EC students to share recommendations for what to bring:
As important as knowing what to bring is knowing what items should stay home. A complete list of prohibited and unsafe items that break the fire code can be found in the Student Code of Conduct. Some highlights include:
Unapproved pets (fish in a 10-gallon or smaller aquarium are okay)
Firearms - even if you hunt or shoot for sport or have a carry permit
Anything with an open-heat component, such as a hot plate, griddle, coffee pot/heater
Candles, halogen lamps, and tapestries
