University of California, Santa Cruz: What should we bring, and what should roommates coordinate before move-in?
DIRECT ANSWER
Bring Twin XL bedding, everyday essentials, an emergency kit and only approved appliances; coordinate shared items such as the microwave/mini-fridge with roommates.
UCSC publishes a detailed 2026 packing list and strongly recommends packing lightly because room space is limited. Students should use the 'do not bring' list, share plans with roommates and avoid duplicate large items.
