Hello! Welcome to CRC!
You're undoubtedly viewing this page because you're a freshman
looking for some information about living in CRC in the upcoming school
year.
Hopefully this little guide will help you with your transition to
Northwestern and the Communications Residential College.
If you haven't already, take a look at our "About" page.
You should find some helpful information there.
If anything isn't covered on this website, feel free to email the
webmaster, Cassi
(cassi@u.northwestern.edu),
or our dorm president, Tony (tmucia@u.northwestern.edu).
We look forward to seeing you this fall!
Lingo: What is an
ACM? Did
someone just say "dingle?"
CRC and Northwestern have some fun lingo that you'll get to be familiar
with.
Check out a list of dorm lingo here.
What
are the living quarters like at CRC?


What should I bring with me to school?
Need:
bedding (X-Long twin sheets--you can buy these pretty much anywhere and
the bedding promoted by Northwestern is a
ripoff)
power strips
ethernet cable (20 feet long)
refrigerator (coordinate with your roommate!)
laundry hamper, detergent, quarters
shower shoes, towels, shower caddy
computer
clothes...
hangers
alarm clock
school supplies (and a flash drive is useful)
medical supplies (band-aids, etc)
Suggested:
over-the-door hooks
dishes/silverware/cups/dish soap/sponge
lamp (highly suggested)
DVDs (see our resident movie list)
rain boots
umbrella (highly suggested)
athletic equipment
formal wear and costumes (we have dances and themed meetings where you
can win prizes)
cleaning supplies (small vacuum, paper towels, Febreeze)
posters, decorations
key chain/lanyard
bike (we have a bike room to store it in the winter)
video games/consoles
instruments
books
By the way, you can buy pretty
much anything in Evanston (such as at

area, so don't worry if you forget something!
From CRC to....
