What should I bring?

New Student Packing List

This page has the “What to Bring” list for both single and married students.

What do I need to bring?

Single Students

  • Bedding/Linens: You’ll need your own pillow, pillowcases, bed sheets (twin extra long), bedspread and blankets, towels and wash cloths. The school will provide a mattress cover for you to purchase.
  • Personal items: Items you may consider bringing include a laundry bag or basket, sports equipment, desk lamp, fan, iron and small pictures. A carryall or organizer is helpful for toiletry items. If you plan to bring a window air conditioner, please contact a dean first since we only need one per room. If there are any larger personal items you wish to bring, please contact a dean to discuss details. Mini fridges are unnecessary as refrigerators are provided on each wing.
  • Decorations: You may bring decorations but consider that space is limited and only pins and thumbtacks are permitted to fasten items to the wall.
  • Pets: Fish contained in 1-gallon bowls or smaller are permitted. No other pets allowed.
  • Phone or Handheld Device: A handheld device with Bluetooth is needed for attendance.
  • Laptop: All students should have their own personal laptop for completing research, writing papers, turning in assignments, and even testing electronically.
    • Computer Specs for Logos Bible Software: The minimum requirement is 2GB of RAM and 30GB of FREE hard drive space. Some users have found that 8-16GB of RAM is ideal. There is a mobile app available, however, we strongly discourage relying on netbook or iPad to run the online version of the program because the configuration limits the software’s capability. When you complete all 4 semesters, you will own the software outright.
  • Printer (Optional): It is helpful to bring a printer but not required. Most of the assignments are turned in electronically and there is a printer available in the library.
  • Please Do Not Bring
    • electric blankets
    • space heater
    • mini refrigerator
What do we need to bring?

Married Students

  • Housekeeping items: We do not provide household/housekeeping items. Bring dishes, pots, pans, iron, towels, linens, blankets, fan, clock and lamps.
  •  Furniture: We recommend you bring your own furniture, however, keep in mind that apartment sizes vary. If you are unable to bring furniture, there is a limited amount of furniture available on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Appliances: Refrigerators and stoves are available for all apartments. You may also want to bring a microwave oven, fan, small air conditioner, TV, etc. No space heaters, please, and no electric blankets.
  • Decorations: You may want to bring things that will help make your apartment “home.” Small picture hangers or straight pins are fine for hanging things on the walls.
  • Pets: Fish contained in 1-gallon bowls or smaller are permitted. No other pets allowed.
  • Clothing for warm and cold weather: Due to the ever-changing weather in Wisconsin, you will want to bring clothes appropriate for both warm and very cold temperatures.
  • Phone or Handheld Device: A handheld device with Bluetooth is needed for attendance.
  • Laptop: All students should have their own personal laptop for completing research, writing papers, turning in assignments, and even testing electronically.
    • Computer Specs for Logos Bible Software: The minimum requirement is 2GB of RAM and 30GB of FREE hard drive space. Some users have found that 8-16GB of RAM is ideal. There is a mobile app available, however, we strongly discourage relying on netbook or iPad to run the online version of the program because the configuration limits the software’s capability. When you complete all 4 semesters, you will own the software outright.
