Don’t bring any extra lighting…there’s an overhead light and a desk light built in. If you’re in a triple with lofted beds, you might want a clip on headboard light if you like to read in bed (like I do). There’s not a ton of closet space, but it’s not bad…I never had a problem fitting my things in there. An under-the-bed storage container is usually a good idea for out-of-season clothes (and makes moving easier anyway). Definitely bring a surge protector as outlets are generally limited. Printers are a personal thing…I never had one and just used the computer labs. If you do bring one, I’d splurge and get one of the nicer ones…otherwise it could be more trouble than it’s worth replacing ink cartridges all the time.
