20 Must-Have Items at BU

Umbrella or Raingear Not all buildings are connect- ed so venturing to class or into town in the rain can be a wet experience. Stay dry!

Cork board / White board Having a board in your room is the perfect way to stay organized and personalize your space. Fill it with your schedules, to- do lists, pictures, anything to help you feel product- ive in your new room.

Pillow Bringing your own pillow en- sures that you get the best night’s sleep in your new room.

Purple EVERYTHING! You can never have too many purple clothes or items. No mat- ter how crazy it is, bring it! #BleedPurple

Headphones Campus can be a loud place, and having these with you can easily make any place a study space.

Kettle / Keurig If you’re not a morning person, investing in one of these is perfect: you don’t even have to leave your room for that morning coffee.

Slippers A comfy way of get- ting around residence without having to put on actual shoes!

Camera A camera will be your best friend to capture all of the amazing memories of you and your friends to look back upon for years to come.

Extension Cord/Power Bar Plugs are sometimes not in the most convenient places, so having one of these around makes plugging in all your devices a lot easier.

Cards / Games A great way to enter- tain a bunch of friends on cold winter nights.

Rain Boots To keep your feet dry during the mud sea- sons that arrive twice a year - right before the snow arrives and after it departs.

Travel Mug On those rushed Monday mornings, having a travel mug is the perfect way to carry that much-needed coffee or tea to class.

Masks Bring your sur- gical masks and face coverings to keep each other safe be- cause, well you know... COVID

Mini Fridge Sometimes leaving your room is not an option. Don’t feel that you have to cut your study ses- sion short to go to Dewies, keep all your favorite study fuel in your very own mini fridge.

Costumes There are tons of themed events and holidays going on at BU all year long. Whether it be Halloween, Gait Night, or just another day on campus, there is always an excuse to wear a crazy costume.

80’s Style Retro Snowsuit Rock Winterfest and winter theme nights with your best Crazy Canucks snow gear.

Bluetooth Speaker Whether it be getting ready to go to The Gait, movie nights or just hanging out with bunch of friends, this is a must have for dorm life.

Blankets It gets cold in the wintertime, and having a couple of blan- kets makes it a bit cozier.
