Until Welcome Weekend


Welcome Incoming Students!

Congrats! You've been chosen to become part of the best dorm on campus. We couldn't be more excited to welcome you to your new home, and we hope you're looking forward to it as much as we are. This isn’t just where you’ll live—it’s where you’ll grow, laugh, make unforgettable memories, and find a community that truly feels like home. Get excited for a warm welcome, incredible people, and the beginning of something truly special. We can’t wait to meet you and see everything you’ll bring to our community.

As you prepare for move in, check out the resources we've compiled below to help you get ready. Below, you'll find room information, packing lists, and other important details to help you make the most of your time in Coyle. Additionally, take some time to reach out to your roomate(s) and get to know them (you will be living together after all). Hopefully, you'll become good friends!

Beds can be lofted (using closet and desk), raised (you must provide risers), bunked, or just placed. Fourth floor rooms, due to the different roof shape, aren't tall enough to loft both beds. Ladders are available for each high bed if needed.
Sinks are on a two shelf cabinet with a medicine cabinet and mirror above.

Things to Bring, Pack, or Buy

This is an incomplete list, but here are some common items to consider having in your room. You'll want to coordinate with your roommate, especially with bigger items, so you don't end up bringing two of everything.

There are plenty of stores in the South Bend area, including Target, Costco, and Walmart, if you'd rather buy stuff after move-in. Feel free to have items delivered to your room, but they must arrive after move-in or they won't be accepted.
