Things to Think About Before Move-In
Personal Property/Renter's Insurance
- Do NOT leave your personal belongings unattended.
- RCL strongly encourages students to invest in a Renter's Insurance policy. Please review current insurance policies to determine if your personal property is covered while living on campus.
- RCL encourages students to limit move-in assistance from family and friends to 3 helpers in an effort to decrease congestion on move-in day.
- Students are encouraged to bring their own dollies or handcart.

Talk to Your Future Roommate
