microwaves?
Aren't there microwaves in the kitchenettes that are set up for the dorm suites? Don't really want my room full of cooking smells, 'specially if the roomies eat fish!

Just FYI... the ERC dorms did NOT provide microwaves. There is really only a sink and a stove.

Hmmm...

-Laptop (that's capable of playing games very well)
-Paper, Pens, Pencils, Notebooks etc
-Bedding w/ Blankets
-Clothes/Shoes
-Bass Guitar w/ Amp (Not sure about Sixth's policy on instruments in the res halls, or apartments)
-Xbox 360/Wii
-Hopefully I can bring a decent tv since Sixth has a "living" room for each suite
-Those plastic containers that fit under your bed to hold crap
-Pots/Pans/Utensils

If you bring a Wii or XBox 360, I'd caution you against leaving it in the common room or anywhere someone could get to it. I've broke into most colleges' dorms (I just don't have the patience for my friends to come get me), and Sixth dorms are the easiest.

Sounds annoying that people would want to steal... at UCSD. Oh well, hopefully I'll get a single dorm in the apartments and not really worry about it.

Roommate's bringing a TV. (: Obviously, I'm way too excited about this. Am I over-packing?

after frosh year you could sell the fridge or use it for a wine cooler. (:

what we did was contact all of our suitemates/roommates via facebook and made a thread, so we could figure out what we're all bringing. If you're cool with everyone, the whole suite doesn't have to bring 8 microwaves and fridges, but rather share in the common room.

It also depends what college you're in, because of the layout of the dorms, and room size.
