As they toted their belongings into their homes away from home, several freshmen said the fall semester taught them what they needed and what they didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTypically, students take home their essential items and, for each student, that may look a little different,\u201d said Carling Wilson, associate director of administrative services in Housing and Residence Life.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the student was female or male, clothing was the main item that changed from fall to spring semester. In August, winter clothing is useless; in January, summer clothes become equally useless. New clothes were common Christmas presents.<\/p>\n<p>Halle Barton, a freshman in nursing who lives in Stagmaier Hall, took her summer clothes back home to Knoxville and returned with winter ones. She had somewhat of a focus on one particular style.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI brought a lot more hoodies,\u201d said Barton, who graduated from Bearden High School.<\/p>\n<p>Jack Johnson, a freshman in environmental science from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, said he didn\u2019t make a lot of changes from&nbsp; fall semester to spring when returning to his unit in West Campus Housing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mom helped me out a lot with that kind of stuff in the fall. She brought everything that I pretty much needed,\u201d said Johnson, who graduated from Siegel High School in Murfreesboro.<\/p>\n<p>Chello Gardner, a sophomore in communication from Memphis, spent her first year on campus in Boling before becoming a resident assistant in West Campus Housing this year.<\/p>\n<p>With a solid academic year under her belt, Gardner, a graduate of Arlington High School, had a list of items that students need if they\u2019re living on campus: Trash cans, a vacuum cleaner, laundry detergent, dish soap and other cleaning supplies.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Thomas Becker, a senior in mechanical engineering, was unloading a healthy amount of stuff from his car to carry into his unit in Johnson Obear Apartments. His housing philosophy is: \u201cIt\u2019s always better to have more than you need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A \u201cwell-decorated room,\u201d though, needs \u201cextra gimmicky stuff,\u201d said Becker, who attended high school in Clarksville, Tennessee. Gimmicks include video-gaming electronics like the flight simulator for Xbox he has in his room for when \u201cyou just want to have fun and stuff with your roommates.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47599\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"961\" data-attachment-id=\"47599\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2023\/01\/comforts-of-home-students-learn-whats-truly-needed-for-cozy-living\/winter-move-in-23-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Winter-Move-In-23-186.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,961\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Angela Foster\/University of Tennessee at Chattanooga&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON Z 6_2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Winter move in day, Friday, Jan. 6, 2023&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1673015636&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;29&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.002&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Winter Move In-23-&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Winter Move In-23-\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Winter move in day, Friday, Jan. 6, 2023&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Winter-Move-In-23-186-1024x820.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-47599 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Winter-Move-In-23-186.jpg\" alt=\"Thomas Becker has a full load to roll into his room in Johnson Obear Apartments \" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"height=\"961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Winter-Move-In-23-186.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Winter-Move-In-23-186-1024x820.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Winter-Move-In-23-186-768x615.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Winter-Move-In-23-186-580x464.jpg 580w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Winter-Move-In-23-186-610x489.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thomas Becker has a full load to roll into his room in Johnson Obear Apartments<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With spring semester 2023 officially starting Monday, Jan. 9, about 500 UTC students were scheduled Friday, Jan. 6, for Operation Move In.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2023\/01\/comforts-of-home-students-learn-whats-truly-needed-for-cozy-living\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1105,"featured_media":47599,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61,123865,59,56,4866,50311,7712,123339,12740,4936,661],"tags":[119215,47993,48159],"class_list":{"0":"post-47595","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-biology-geology-and-environmental-science","8":"category-college-of-arts-sciences","9":"category-college-of-engineering-and-computer-science","10":"category-college-of-health-education-and-professional-studies","11":"category-communication","12":"category-criminal-justice","13":"category-faculty-and-staff","14":"category-housing-and-residence-life","15":"category-mechanical-engineering","16":"category-school-of-nursing","17":"category-students","18":"tag-carling-wilson","19":"tag-housing-and-residence-life","20":"tag-operation-move-in","21":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
