If you are like many others living in a student community, you are going home for Thanksgiving or winter break. Of course, you want to ensure you are ready to leave what is now your residence for several days. Use the following tips to prepare before leaving your UAB student housing for Thanksgiving or winter break.
Talk to Your Landlord
The first thing you want to do is let your landlord know that you are leaving the community for several days. You also want to encourage any roommates who are going home to also talk to the landlord. Think of it as a safety precaution that you are going to continue in your next apartment after college.
Talk to Your Neighbors
You also want to talk to your neighbors before leaving your UAB student housing for several days. This way, they know you are not expecting any guests at your apartment. You may also want to let them know if your roommates are sticking around or going home.
Pack Your Essentials
Of course, you always want to pack your essentials before heading home for Thanksgiving or winter break. In addition to clothes and toiletries, you may need to pack a few school-related items. One idea is to make a checklist of everything you need to pack to avoid forgetting an important item.
