What To Bring
You will bring to Steel House whatever you would bring if living in the dorms. There's a complete list of those items on the University Residences web site. In addition, because the majority of the residents at Steel House sleep on porches, you will want a warm electric blanket and extra blankets for our cold winters in Moscow. The porches are not heated but manage to stay fairly warm. Air is circulated easily to help keep germs out when people are ill.
Some of the rooms don't have much shelving or closet space. If you choose one of these rooms, you may want to bring some of these items from home. We can take measurements for you. You will need your own window treatments, dorm sized fridge, and extra places to keep your personal belongings.
In addition, you may want to bring a shower caddy to hold all your "shower" items that can be stored in the bathroom so you don't have to haul it back to your room after a shower. Be sure to bring plenty of towels and bed linens, laundry detergent and softener, and of course, all your personal items. If you want to keep personal food in your room, you may want to keep these items in sealed plastic bins.
If you are not from the area, be sure to remember to bring snow boots, gloves, hats, warm coats, leggings, and other articles of clothing to keep you warm. When you arrive in Moscow, it will be warm but the cold weather eventually sets in, often before people have a chance to go home for more clothing. These items can be stored in the trunk room until you need them.
