Furnishings

Most residence hall rooms include a single Twin XL bed (36" x 80" — extra long sheets required), desk, chair, wastebasket, wardrobe and dresser for each occupant. 

Bed height is somewhat adjustable (12" to 28"). Bed lofting is available through www.bedloft.com. Students may pre-order their beds to be lofted before move-in day to make their transition to campus smoother. 

Please note that it is against College policy to have large appliances (including air conditioning units) because the electrical outlets cannot support them.

Laundry

Most residence halls have laundry facilities located in the basement. Washers are $2.25 per load and dryers are $1.50 per 45 minutes.

Common Areas

Most residence halls contain at least two lounges — a space for larger gatherings and a space for smaller gatherings and meetings.
