Things to Think About Before Move-In
Personal Property/Renter's Insurance
- Do NOT leave your personal belongings unattended.
- RCL strongly encourages students to invest in a Renter's Insurance policy. Please review current insurance policies to determine if your personal property is covered while living on campus.
- RCL encourages students to limit move-in assistance from family and friends to 3 helpers in an effort to decrease congestion on move-in day.
- Students are encouraged to bring their own dollies or handcart.

Talk to Your Future Roommate
Make an effort to contact your future roommate(s) to discuss what items you are bringing to campus and how you would like to decorate your room. And remember, "STUFF" multiplies.
Moderation is always a helpful packing guideline when you prepare to live with others.

If you have questions pertaining to the campus or the Town of Farmville, ask any staff member.
