What Should you Bring to Windsor?

Here you can find a basic list of the do's and don'ts of packing for residence. Keep in mind these are suggestions and not necessarily required. 
​
Remember: the goal is to travel light. You're moving into a small room with limited cupboard space - and you'll be moving out again in April. A large suitcase of clothes, a couple of boxes of other stuff and a bin-liner of bedding is probably about the right level
 
** Windsor also has LIMITED storage space for any luggage and things you can't store in your room.

What to bring (for you/ your room):

- Clothes (Shirts, pants, sweaters, underwear etc.)

     - sleepwear and slippers

     - Rain/ Snow Gear

     - Gym clothes for intramurals

     - Shoes (boots, runners, flip flops etc.)

     - Jackets (rain, snow etc)

     - Clothes that can get dirty

     - LOTS of clothes in your house colours! (Red          and Blue if you couldn't tell - HOUSE PRIDE           IS KEY)
