Moving In

Assignments

Housing assignments will be sent to student's 快活视频email accounts on Friday, August 2 after 5pm. Assignments will also be available on the under View Housing Assignments on Monday, August 5th. You will only receive your roommate information and the building you are living in. Once you arrive at centralized check-in, your room number and room key will be provided to you.

Roommates

One of the first and most important relationships that you will build is with your roommate. When you receive your housing assignment, you will also receive contact information for your new roommate. Whether you have selected your roommate yourself, or been assigned a roommate, it is a great idea to reach out to them and get to know a bit about them. 

Your RA (Resident Assistant) will introduce you to the roommate agreement. This agreement is meant to help you and your roommate create shared expectations. You will discuss things like  

  • what items are okay to share,  
  • ways you鈥檒l keep the space clean, 
  •  when it is okay to have guests in the room,  
  • and other things like quiet times for sleep and study. 

Your RA will sit down with the two of you to review what you discussed. This is an important time to clarify any assumptions and make sure that you are both on the same page. Remember that this agreement is a starting point, and as you develop some living habits together, it will be important to revisit the agreement and revise it based upon new understandings you have as time goes on.

Make Your Move-In Sustainable

 

Towson University anticipates being carbon neutral by 2050. So far, the university has reduced its emissions by over 55% and has a 55% recycling rate. While we are proud of our accomplishments, we can鈥檛 move forward without your help. Below are a few tips to get you on the green track.

Bring a reusable water bottle. There are FREE water filling stations all over campus. . Plus, it鈥檚 one less thing to recycle.

Pack using containers you already have. Laundry bags, reusable grocery bags, and gym duffel bags are all great choices and will come in handy throughout the term.

If you need more boxes, get them used. Ask your local grocery or department stores surplus boxes. Recycle them when you鈥檙e done. Just leave them flattened in any waste room in your hall or look for the large blue recycling bins. 

Bring your bike to campus and don't forget your helmet. The university has bike racks and bike repair stations throughout campus. You can identify those locations on the .

Pick up a free LED light bulb. Don鈥檛 bother with standard bulbs. Request a free LED from the Office of Sustainability at .

Ditch the car and hop on the free shuttles to do your shopping. The 快活视频shuttles travel all around the Towson area and the campus Zip Cars give you wheels when you want them. Everything you need to get out and about without having to pay for a parking permit.

Feed the compost bin in your residence hall. It loves food scraps and pizza boxes. Trust us.

Keep the temperature in mind. Make sure sensitive items are the last ones in the car and the first ones out. Aerosol sprays and certain electronics can melt, explode and damage other boxes if left out in the heat for too long. Drop off unwanted electronics at the specialty recycling bin in University Union or West Village Commons.

Be a Thrifty Tiger. There are tons of local thrift shops, where you can buy and sell gently used clothes and household goods. Consider one of these shops before heading to the mall or big box store. Stop by Tiger Threads located in The Basic Needs Hub (Liberal Arts Annex, 242) for free clothing options.

Recharge responsibly. Consider purchasing a smart power strip or rechargeable batteries.
