What to Bring

Your new home!

Your residence hall room will be your unique space in which you should feel comfortable and at home. All rooms come furnished with bed(s), desks, desk chairs, chest of drawers, closet or wardrobe space, and one Microfridge. See Room Previews for specific dimensions and images.

A local telephone number is assigned to each room; long-distance service is available through the ORU Telephone Center - GC 4 ½ West. You may sign-up for long-distance service at any time during the registration process. All rooms are wired for basic cable TV and internet access.

Just when you think you have brought everything you need, you will start to move in and unpack... only to discover that you have forgotten something! This is inevitable , but there are many stores in the Tulsa area that are easily accessible from ORU.  


We recommend bringing the following items with you to help personalize your space:

Bed sheets for Gabrielle, Susie, Wesley, EMR/Claudius 7th floors - extra long twin (80 inches)

Bed sheets for Michael, Frances, most of EMR/Claudius - standard twin (72 inches)
