Welcome to Living on Campus at Navarro College!
We are very excited you have chosen to live in one of NC’s residence halls! Below is some information you need to know about preparing to move in.
Consider purchasing property insurance to protect your belongings. Students are free to choose their own insurance carrier for personal property coverage. Get more information here: Student Property Insurance Information.
WHAT TO BRING
At Navarro, turning your room into a comfortable new home is one of the important parts of the college experience. However, don’t bring everything you own since you will be sharing that space with your roommate. Contact your roommate when you receive your hall/room assignment and decide together what items to bring and how you want the room to look. We also recommend no more than one vehicle-load of personal belongings. Below is a sample of things you may want to bring with you for move in.
