East halls advice/comments:

Buy bed risers and a few under bed storage bins from Wal Mart before you come to State College (Wal Mart in State College on move-in weekend is a complete and total zoo) - they’re the best bet for storage and you need the risers as the beds are quite low. Just buy the standard risers from Wal Mart. Alternatively McLanahans downtown (College Ave and Garner St) should probably have these

Don’t bring any lamps/lights/shades/blinds, you’ll get everything you need for these purposes

You have a mirror. Don’t bring another, you don’t need it

Bring some sort of “shower caddy” to haul your stuff from the shower to your room

Bring fan(s). The big cheap box fans work well

There are drawers and stuff in the closet - you might better organize things with some additional bins to place in the closet, but you can’t get a good idea of how this will work for your specific needs without being there and seeing things
