Look for Energy-Star certified microwaves, TVs, etc. when shopping for your room!

PACKING LIST Packing for college can be a large task in and of itself, so we ve compiled a list of common items that are useful and popular among college students.

3 PACKING LIST Packing for college can be a large task in and of itself, so we ve compiled a list of common items that are useful and popular among college students. We recommend that you pack conservatively, as space in the room is limited and there is no additional storage available. Also, talk with your roommate about who will bring big items such as televisions, microwaves, etc. to avoid unnecessary duplicates. SUGGESTIONS If you live close to home or plan to go home before the semester ends, bring only the essentials, like seasonal clothes. Pre-dispose of as much packaging as you can to avoid having a ton of left over boxes and wrapping to throw away. WHAT TO BRING: Laptop Printer (USB cords must be used with all wireless printers.

You can come by anytime during your New Student Orientation or the summer from 8 AM-5 PM, Monday through Friday. You ll use this card to access your meal plan in the Agora and attend community programming events. The UNC OneCard is separate from the GT ID/Meal Card, so Granville residents will have both cards. Granville residents will need their UNC OneCard to utilize the Enhancements program which allows residents to check out items such as movies, sporting goods, board games, and much more. HOUSEKEEPING AND MAINTENANCE On-site maintenance is available 7 days per week, as well as weekly housekeeping. You can fill out a maintenance request on the online resident portal or at your tower s front desk. Housekeeping requests may be sent to gthousekeeping@gmail.com.
