What should my student bring to a UT Austin residence hall?

DIRECT ANSWER

Bring Twin XL bedding, towels, toiletries, laundry and cleaning supplies, study items and a valid photo ID; avoid duplicating furniture and prohibited appliances.

UT's current packing list is the implementation source for what to bring and leave behind. It calls for Twin XL bedding, towels, personal supplies, laundry/cleaning supplies, a valid UT or government photo ID for check-in and normal study items. Because a desk, dresser, bed, MicroFridge and microwave are already provided, families should coordinate with the roommate and avoid bringing duplicates or banned items.
