When you move into a dorm, you'll be given a list of things that you're not allowed to bring. This will vary from school to school, but there are some common items that are usually prohibited. Here are some of the things you might not be able to bring to your dorm:
-Candles and incense: These are typically not allowed because they can start fires. If you want to use candles or incense, look for battery-operated versions that are safe to use in your room.
-Pets: Many schools do not allow pets in the dorms, with the exception of fish in a small aquarium. If you have an allergy or other medical reason for needing a pet in your room, talk to your RA or housing office about getting an exemption.
-Weapons: Guns, knives and other weapons are not allowed in the dorms. This includes replicas or toys that could be mistaken for real weapons.
-Alcohol: If you're under 21, chances are alcohol is not allowed in your dorm room. Even if you're over 21, there may be restrictions on how much alcohol you can keep in your room or where it must be stored. Make sure to check your school's policy before bringing any alcohol into the dorms.
