What to Bring from Home?
Feel free to bring these items and any other cozy reminders of
home. Because your main purpose at Barry is to study, don’t
forget your thesaurus, dictionary, computer, calculator, and resource
books. You may wish to bring your stereo system, but you should
check with your roommate once you receive your housing assignment
information. This isn’t Noah’s Ark, so you don’t
need to bring two of everything!

*Because of the amount of electricity many of these items draw
we ask that you contact your roommate(s) to discuss who will bring
which items. If everyone brings two refrigerators, two microwaves,
two television set, ect… they will create a strain on our
electrial system. Again, call your roommate(s) ahead of time and
decide who will bring what to school.
The following items are not allowed in the residence halls:
- Pets (except for fish in tanks no larger than 10 gallons)
- Appliances with open coils (toaster ovens, hot plates, etc)
- Halogen lamps
- Loft units
- Alcohol-promoting material (banners, posters, neon signs, etc)
- Candles / incense

If you are not sure whether you should bring something, give us
a call at 305-899-3875 (toll free: 1-800-756-6000, ext. 3875).
Remember that you are the most important factor
in your college experience. If you do not have all of these items
please don’t feel the need to purchase them. You’ll
do fine without most of them. There are local stores only 10 minutes
away if you would like wait until you arrive before you buy anything. |
