Home Moving In Items to Bring

Items to Bring

As you plan your arrival to Georgia Tech we ask that you consider the following recommendations. Please bring essential items only so as to ensure a smooth move-in process for the entire community, and simplify the move-out process later in the semester.

What to Bring

Here you will find the list of items you should consider bringing with you to move-in, with specific needs for each type of room below.

The Tenth and Home complex on North Campus offers one and two bedroom Family-monthly unfurnished apartments which have no furniture in them. The full size kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, stove, oven, refrigerator, cabinets, pantry, and washer and dryer. You will need to plan to provide furnishings according to your personal needs.

Appliances

Personal appliances that are used for cooking need to be used in a proper and safe manner. No open flame device is allowed in any residence hall. Appliances that generate high temperatures (generally over 140 degrees such as a George Foreman grill or portable deep fat fryers) can only be used at approved locations. The top of any of the apartment or common area stoves provided with exhaust hoods are considered the only approved locations for use within residence halls. Slow cookers are allowed.

Individual health and air quality requirements vary greatly between students’ desires and needs. Students should plan for small portable units (de-humidifier, air cleaner, humidifier, fan, ionizer, etc.) that meet their personal comfort desires as these items are not supplied in the rooms.
