LESS is better. Remember
that roommates also bring belongings, so discuss some of the items you would
like to have in the room and who will be responsible for bringing them when
you get your roommate assignments at the end of July. Also, it may be more
practical to purchase some items locally instead of hauling them all the way
from home. The following is a list of useful items!
