Room furnishings - Each student is supplied with a twin bed which takes 36" x 80" x 6", (twin extra long) sheets, desk, desk drawers, desk chair, and dresser. Additional room furnishings vary depending on the room type. In some cases, lamps or ceiling lights are provided, but residents should bring additional lamps. Some apartment units come equipped with a dining table and chairs, and a sofa and side chair. Floor coverings vary, as do window coverings. Desk lamps, dishes, ice cube trays, cooking utensils, linens, etc., are not provided.
You may not change or alter the existing facilities and must abide by the following policies:
- You are responsible for all furnishings provided. Due to space limitations and work constraints, furniture that belongs in the room cannot be stored by University departments. Furniture left in public areas will be removed with the costs charged to you. (Note: In units where room type and capacity can change i.e., one-bedroom apartments rented as either singles or doubles, all furniture needed at maximum capacity will remain in the unit to allow Housing full flexibility in assignment configurations.)
- Residents will be charged for any furniture that is missing at the end of the occupancy period.
- No partitions (structural repairs, modifications, or freestanding pieces) are permitted in University residences, as they damage walls, ceilings and floors, and pose a safety hazard.
- Residents may not add locks, alarms, or chains to their doors, as they deter access by authorized personnel.
- Waterbeds are not permitted in University residences.
- Altering or tampering with the telephone, electrical, plumbing, circulation, or other building systems including "ResNet" is prohibited.
- Putting tape, decals, or other decoration on the exterior of a room or building, including windows, is prohibited.
Specific information, including room measurements and characteristics, can be found at Campus Express, at “My Housing”.
Lounge furnishings – Lounge furniture is placed so that all residents of a community unit can comfortably use the public space. “Borrowing” lounge furniture (even for a short time) cheats other floor residents of full use of their public space, and causes great difficulties for the housekeeping staff who must maintain the order of the lounge. It also causes concern over theft of University property. In order for everyone to enjoy the lounges, please keep them in order and their inventory intact.
