What to BringMake sure you bring with you what you'll need for your first nights at Stanford: ID, toiletries & towel, clothes & jacket, shoes, and basic bedding.
Guidelines for PackingEach student will have in their room: bed with mattress, desk and chair, wardrobe/closet, dresser, bookcase, and trashcan/recycling. Review these guidelines for what to pack and consider how to be sustainable.
Since Stanford does not provide storage on campus, we recommend you start by bringing only the necessities! Wait until you meet your roommates before deciding on optional items such microwaves, which you can purchase later if desired. Each dorm room will have a mini-fridge provided by Stanford Housing.
Shipping Your Belongings - Mail & Packages
Do not ship your items early, as they will not be accepted until you have moved in. (Exception: If you ordered your bedding through Stanford's Dormroom program, your Dormroom package will be held at Tresidder until you arrive.)
