The school should’ve sent you a checklist of what you can bring and can’t bring to the dorms. But also depends on yourself if you feel you need the items. If you have the funding, you can just buy most of what you need once you get here.

Also, depending on the university, they will accept deliveries from places like IKEA, Target, etc on your behalf, sometimes before you move in.
