- clearly mark (with sticky or sign) personal furniture to go to your new room
- on your furniture inventory, please list any furniture items you would like to go with you to your room (i.e. - tables, bookshelves, etc.) and also mark them clearly with a sticky or sign (while the move of furniture is not guaranteed, we will do our best to accommodate)
