NEUBIE PACKING LIST

The air is cooler, summer has come to an end, and you’re about to flip the page onto a new chapter. Fall Quarter will soon be in session and you’ve most likely got a hefty to-do list that needs to be completed ASAP. If you’re struggling to figure out what to pack for your freshman year, let us help lighten the load by outlining our recommended packing list. Before you start this big task, refer our tips below as well as this detailed packing checklist on our website.

Clothing for each season

In Salt Lake City, we experience all four seasons, meaning you’ll need everything from shorts to scarves. Make sure to bring a heavy coat, gloves and your Neumont beanie you received in your Supply Drop for the upcoming winter weather.

Bedroom bedding

Your room comes equipped with the necessary furniture, but you’ll need to bring your own bedding, blankets, and pillows for a standard, twin-size bed. Move over childhood bedroom, and hello cool college dorm room.

Bathroom essentials

This task has two components—shower accessories and personal toiletries. Bring your own towels but coordinate with your housemates on a shower curtain and rug if you choose. As far as personal items, consider drawer dividers to organize your toothbrush, toothpaste, brushes, etc. and then a shower caddy for your shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

School materials

While Neumont is providing your laptop, it’s recommended you still have pens, notebooks, and index cards. Many students often opt to bring additional monitors as well for a bigger visual to optimize your study sessions. Plus, gaming on bigger monitors is always a bonus.

Laundry necessities

You’ll need more than just detergent. To keep your towels and bedding extra soft, pack fabric softener as well. If this will be your first experience doing your own laundry, make sure you’re comfortable with the process before you come to school.

Tech devices

We’re a tech school so we know you’ll have plenty of devices in tow. First, consult with your roommates to see what shared electronics you can share in a common area like a television or gaming consoles. Then you’ll have a better idea of what personal tech you’ll still need to pack like chargers, printers, etc.

Basic kitchen supplies

This is a shared space, so initially we recommend you consult your housemates to organize who will bring what. Collectively, your kitchen will need silverware, plates, cleaning materials, dishtowels, etc. Wait to go food shopping until you’re moved in to prevent your items going to waste.

Health/safety requirements

You’ll need face masks on campus, in the common areas of your student housing complex, and when visiting Salt Lake businesses. Be sure to bring an adequate supply of washable and/or disposable face masks. In addition, it’s a good idea to also carry anti-bacterial sanitizer with you. The use of both a mask and sanitizer (as well as social distancing) will help keep you and our Neumont community safe.

Miscellaneous items

Additional items to consider are recreational equipment like a bike or skateboard for exploring both downtown and the great outdoors that are in close proximity to campus. Also, don’t forget personal documents like your photo ID, and a copy of your health insurance card.

Once you get settled into your new space, it’s common to forget one or two things. Luckily, our campus is in the middle of downtown Salt Lake City near grocery stores, electronic shops, drugstores, and what you can’t purchase in person, you can have delivered to your apartment. If you have any questions about what to bring with you to Neumont, reach out to your Admissions Officer. We’ll see you soon and can’t wait to greet you on campus!
