Just for the Village


Because you are living in an apartment, you are strongly encouraged to talk with your roommates to see who is bringing what items to the apartment.  Please discuss the following to make your new apartment your new home:

 

  • Kitchen utensils:  pots, pans, silverware, dishes, towels
  • TV, DVD, VCR and other living room items
  • Bathroom necessities:  rugs, cleaning tools and supplies
  • Decorations for the living room
