What to Bring

What We Have

All residence hall rooms provide you with: an overhead light, a desk, an extra long twin bed, a dresser, and a closet or wardrobe. All windows have blinds so drapes are not necessary.

Try to coordinate with your roommate for items like refrigerators, televisions, microwaves, and a telephone. Carpets will be available for purchase on the day you move in!

Will All My Stuff Really Fit Into My Room?

Every time students begin to pack for school, they always wonder exactly what they will need for the year. Here is a small but helpful list of some essential and optional items that our students have found useful. You will be amazed at how much you will be able to have in your residence hall room!

Residence Hall Policies in Regards to Appliances, Candles, Furniture and More:

• Residents may have and use appliances with closed coil elements, such as: coffee pots, George Foreman-type grills, hot pots, hot air popcorn poppers, and blenders. Residents may only use grills with self-igniting charcoal. Grills are only to be used outside. Charcoal and lighter fluid may not be stored in or around residential facilities.
• Residents may have one microwave per room, but each room resident may have a refrigerator. Maximum output for microwaves is 1000 watts and refrigerators are to be no larger than 4.1 cubic feet.
• Halogen lamps and space heaters are not allowed in residential facilities.
• Personal air conditioner units are not allowed in residential facilities unless installed by the College.
• Paraphernalia requiring the use of an open flame, whether or not they are odor-producing, as well as heating elements which are used to release a scent are prohibited in all residential facilities, including candles, incense, candle warmers and simmering potpourris.
• All personal items brought to school must be kept within student rooms and must not be left in the hallways, bathrooms, laundry rooms or any other common area. College provided furnishings may not be removed from the room to accommodate personal items.
• When arranging furniture in residence rooms, students should not block access to windows, air vents, or air conditioning or heating units. Room furniture should be used in the way that it was intended, and it must remain in the room. Students will be held accountable for costs of any missing items at the end of the year.
• The College is not responsible for personal property which is lost, stolen, or damaged; therefore, students are advised to carry renter‘s insurance or personal property insurance on their possessions, from a legitimate third party vendor.
