A few dishes, eating utensils, and glassware. Most of the halls have a limited amount of these items in the kitchenettes, but some residents prefer having their own for snacking in their rooms.
A laundry basket or laundry bag and detergent. Each traditional hall has card-operated washers and dryers. Detergent pods are OK. We provide ironing boards, but no irons.
School supplies: pens/pencils, scissors, stapler, backpack, etc.
A computer. All residence halls have ethernet LAN access in each room; all buildings are wireless.
A portable electric an; air conditioners are not permitted. Corrado Hall, Fields & Schoenfeldt Halls, Lund Family Hall, and Haggerty & Tyson Halls are air-conditioned.
An approved surge protector/power strip. Most rooms have three or four wall outlets. Non-grounded extension cords without surge protection are not allowed. Daisy-chained power strips (one power strip or extension cord plugged into another) are not allowed.
A refrigerator. One per room – no larger than 4.5 cubic feet.
A microwave. One per room. We recommend a compact microwave, since there are cooking facilities with full-size microwaves available for resident use in each hall. Microwaves with toaster attachments are not allowed due to the fire potential of the toasting element.
A bicycle, if desired. There are bike racks in front of each residence hall. We urge you to use a “U-Lock” bicycle lock at all times. Campus Safety recommends registering your bike with their office.
A memo board for your room door. Must be tape-back type and not screw-in type.
For hanging posters, Physical Plant recommends Command hooks/strips, blue painter’s tape, and push pins (for use in plaster walls only, not concrete). Do not use sticky tack, masking tape, adhesive squares, or anything else that will permanently damage or mark the walls. Be aware that if you damage your walls so that the wall must be repaired and/or painted, you will be responsible for the cost regardless of which products you used.
