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: Your laptop should have a minimum of 8GB of RAM and 100GB of free hard drive space to accommodate Logos and the other programs you’ll be using during your time at EBI. Please note: A Chromebook, netbook, iPad, or tablet is insufficient for utilizing Logos. The online version of Logos has limited capabilities due to the configuration and should not be relied on during your time as a student. Also, the Linux Operating System is also not a viable solution to use with Logos.
  • 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: Your laptop should have a minimum of 8GB of RAM and 100GB of free hard drive space to accommodate Logos and the other programs you’ll be using during your time at EBI. Please note: A Chromebook, netbook, iPad, or tablet is insufficient for utilizing Logos.
