Residence Hall Tips

There are lots of things you'll want — and need — to make Point Park your new home. Below are the basics of what to bring and what not to bring to make your living space comfortable. This list is available as a printable PDF.

Be sure to contact your roommate before you get here to avoid bringing two of the same item. There are several drugstores, a Target and a Five Below within walking distance of the University if there are any last-minute items you forgot to pack.
