We bought each of our IU students an inexpensive stick vacuum. It didn’t get used a lot but they did appreciate it. I know others on the floor borrowed it at times.

IU often changes the routes for move-in week. Look at the IU orientation/First year website for information and directions for each dorm.

I don’t know if it’s “obvious,” but I recommend a small, cheap set of dishes and a few pieces of silverware along with a small bottle of dishsoap and dish cloth. I think I bought a few plastic plates and bowls at a dollar store or something similar. If they were lost it didn’t matter. My kids often liked to make breakfast (instant oatmeal or cereal) in their dorm rooms so this came in handy.
