You may have some questions about what to bring with you to Saint Mary’s. Some basic furniture (bed, dresser, desk) will be in your room when you arrive. You may want to bring posters, plants and throw rugs to make your room a little more like home. Listed below are suggestions of what to bring. You may choose to bring your own computer or use the campus computer clusters.

Keep in mind that there are several popular retail stores near campus. Lighten your load by only packing your car with the things you must bring from home. Then, buy bulkier items - ex. refrigerator - here in town, if you'd like.
