Tired of all the noise in Thurston? Get yourself a pair of headphones and crank up the music.

1. Ear plugs or headphones

If you’re living in Thurston Hall, you won’t be in short supply of noises to keep you awake – from the clatter of high heels in the stairwell to the sound of beer cans crashing in the elevator. Keep the clamor at bay with earplugs or a set of headphones.

2. Air freshener

Before you become accustomed to the smell of musty carpet and burnt microwave meals, get in the habit of spraying your room with a layer of air freshener.

3. Fan

A fair warning: GW will turn off the air conditioning too early in the fall and switch it back on too late in the spring.

4. Folding chair

You may love Thurston as a social haven, but you won’t enjoy your neighbors plopping down on your bed every time they barge into your room for a visit. Keep a folding chair handy for when they do.
