  • What to bring/not bring to campus

    The Campus Housing Office at the College of Charleston has a great resource for incoming students.

    A Quick Overview

    Start thinking about what you will bring to campus and what you will leave at home. Look at the floorplan of your assigned room via the MyHousing/Dining portal (Application Status section) and check out the information page for each hall (via our Residence Halls page) before you purchase anything. Also, many of these items can be shared, so discuss this list with your future roommates!

    Please do not ship anything to campus before you get instructions, and then only to your CofC Complex address, which you will get from Mail Services in late July. We also ask that you limit how much you ship, especially if it's something you'll need immediately. You can expect delays at the beginning of the semester - last year Mail Services processed more than 15,000 packages in the first month of classes!
