Felician University: dorm packing list
What to bring to a Felician University dorm: Twin XL sheets, a mattress topper, towels and a shower caddy, under-bed storage, a surge protector, a desk lamp, a fan and laundry supplies. US dorm rooms come furnished with the bed, desk, chair and dresser, so you're packing what goes on and in them.
Below is that list in full, plus the three things that genuinely change by school: the New Jersey climate you're moving into, the room types on campus, and the appliance and prohibited-item rules only Felician University Housing can confirm. The universal version lives on the complete dorm packing checklist.
Packing for New Jersey: cold-winter
Move-in is warm, but pack for a real winter you'll hit by November: a heavy waterproof coat, insulated boots, gloves and a hat, and thermal layers. Dorm heating dries the air hard — a small humidifier is worth it. Ship or store the winter gear and swap it in when it turns.
What Felician University's campus means for your list
Felician University sits in a suburb (Lodi, New Jersey). There's usually a big-box store a short drive away, so bulky items can wait until you arrive — but if you're flying in without a car, arrange a shopping trip for move-in weekend before you land.
At roughly 1,774 undergraduates — the 18th-largest of the 21 New Jersey campuses covered here, facilities are quieter than at a big state school — you can usually get by sharing a drying rack, so prioritise storage over duplicates.
Published on-campus room & board runs about $14,740/year — $1,119 above the $13,621 median across the 648 schools in this dataset and the 19th-priciest of the 21 New Jersey schools here. That figure normally covers a meal plan, so check what your plan includes before buying a mini-fridge and microwave — at many halls the fridge is the only one you actually need.

What's already in your Felician University dorm room
Do not pack these — US dorm rooms come with them: an extra-long twin bed frame and mattress, a desk and chair, a dresser or built-in drawers, and a closet or wardrobe. Bedding, a desk lamp, a mini-fridge, a microwave, storage bins and a fan are almost never supplied, and are what your packing budget is actually for.
Standard US dorm furnishings per College Board, BigFuture — layouts differ hall by hall.
What not to bring to a Felician University dorm
US residence halls consistently ban candles and open flames, halogen lamps, hot plates and exposed-element cooking appliances (toasters, toaster ovens, grills), space heaters, extension cords without surge protection, and pets other than fish. Most cap mini-fridge size and microwave wattage; many now restrict air fryers.
Common categories, not an official list — bans differ by building and change most years.
Room types
We don't publish a verified room-type breakdown for Felician University yet, so this page doesn't claim one — Felician University Housing lists what it actually offers. The packing list is the same either way: browse by room type once you know your assignment (singles need their own fridge; suites split a bathroom; triples need vertical storage).
The rest of the list
Everything else is the same everywhere: bedding, bathroom & shower, storage & organization, laundry, tech & power, study & desk, mini-fridge & snacks. See the complete packing checklist →
Felician University dorm packing: common questions
What size bed do Felician University dorms use?
Nearly every US dorm, Felician University included, uses an extra-long twin (Twin XL) mattress — standard twin sheets won't fit, so buy Twin XL. Confirm the rare exception on Felician University's official housing page.
What furniture comes with a Felician University dorm room?
A Twin XL bed frame and mattress, a desk and chair, a dresser or drawers, and a closet or wardrobe. Bedding, a lamp, a fridge, a microwave, bins and a fan are not included — confirm your building on Felician University's housing page.
What can't you bring to a Felician University dorm?
Candles and open flames, halogen lamps, hot plates and exposed-element cooking appliances, space heaters, non-surge extension cords, and pets other than fish. Bans differ by building, so Felician University Housing's own list is the authority.
Does Felician University set mini-fridge or microwave limits?
Yes — mini-fridge size and microwave wattage limits (and any provided furniture) are set by Felician University Housing and can differ by building. Confirm the exact limits on Felician University's official housing page before buying an appliance.
What should you pack for the weather at Felician University?
Felician University is in New Jersey (cold-winter). Move-in is warm, but pack for a real winter you'll hit by November: a heavy waterproof coat, insulated boots, gloves and a hat, and thermal layers. Dorm heating dries the air hard — a small humidifier is worth it. Ship or store the winter gear and swap it in when it turns. Treat it as a regional rule of thumb, not a forecast.
