Packing for your move to residence is exciting! But also daunting if you’re not sure exactly what you should bring, and also what’s not permitted. This list will help!
Some items to note:
- Don’t forget to label all your boxes and belongings with your name, building and unit number.
- The Front Desk is not equipped to accept packages shipped to residence prior to your move-in day (except orders from Campus Linens). If you are shipping packages to yourself, ensure they arrive after your move-in day.
- If you want to learn more about what is provided in your unit (depending on your residence and room type), head here.
- Looking to order linens? We recommend the UBCO Bookstore or Campus Linens. Learn more here!
- For other necessities, the UBC Bookstore is a convenient place to pick up essentials once you arrive, as is Walmart.
