Room Furnishings

At the beginning of each term, students will receive a Facilities Superintendent’s dormitory room report listing the furniture that has been provided; the property listed becomes a student’s responsibility. Students must inform the Facilities Superintendent within five days of occupancy if the report contains mistakes. Even when absent from their rooms, students are held responsible for any disorder or damage occurring there.

No University-issued furnishings may be removed from student rooms. If any furnishings are missing from rooms at the end of the year, students will be billed for replacement costs.

The University provides each student with a:

• desk
• chair
• bureau,
• bed (extra-long, 80” by 36”)
• closet or wardrobe

Beds are equipped with mattresses; students should supply their own pillows. Please consult with your college about whether common room furniture and overhead lighting are provided. Halogen lamps are fire hazards and are not permitted.  Since most first-years live in suites in which they share a common room with several roommates, please consult with your roommates over the summer about bringing other room items.
