Elevate My DormBoise State University Dorm Packing List
Everything worth bringing to your Boise State University dorm — organized by category, checkable, and printable. Before you pack, check your exact room size and lay the room out free so everything you buy actually fits.
Before you buy anything: what is actually true at Boise State University
A generic college checklist will cost you money here. These are Boise State University’s own published room measurements and rules — check them before you order.
Room size and rugs
Rooms run from 94 sq ft (Driscoll Hall) up to 217 sq ft (Syringa Hall). At the small end a 4×6 rug is the largest that leaves walking room — measure before ordering anything bigger.
Bed and bedding
Standard TWIN, not Twin XL — this is the biggest packing mistake at Boise State. Chaffee and Taylor use 75x38; Keiser and University Suites use 73x37.5. Exceptions: Lincoln Townhomes is Full (80x52) and The Osprey is Full XL (79x52.5). Confirm your hall before buying sheets. Do not buy Twin XL sheets here.
