Required items to bring

• Photo identification, such as driver’s license, state ID or passport (it must have a photo)

• Casual dress (comfortable shoes, sneakers)

• Spending money (meals are included, but snacks, Quinnipiac gear, etc. are not)

Additional items for first-year students to bring

All first-year students, including commuters, will be spending the evening in one of our residence halls. We recommend casual dress, since you will be moving about campus quite a bit.

We recommend the following for an overnight stay:

• Clothing for a second day

• Pajamas

• Warmer clothing for nighttime

• Linens (sheets and/or sleeping bag, blanket, pillow)

• Towel and washcloth

• Toiletries (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, medications, etc.)

• Shower sandals

• Chargers (laptop and phone)

The first-year student Orientation includes an overnight stay in the residence halls for first-year students. If you or a family member are planning to spend a night or two in the area, these are some hotels we recommend.
