What to Bring

Description
  • Linens
    • You should bring pillows, blankets, a mattress cover and linens, towels and washcloths. Extra-long twin linens are available in most bath and bedroom supply stores, and you can also buy them online at the Princeton Student Agencies or the Princeton University Store websites. In both cases you can order them in advance and pick them up when you arrive on campus in the fall.
