Every residence hall room comes furnished with bed, desk, mattress, closet, and dresser. Taylor, Keiser, and University Suites also have furnished living rooms with a table and chairs, sofa, and cushioned chair. University Suites kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, stove, oven, and dishwasher. Room furnishings may not be removed from student rooms. Due to limited space, University Housing does not store room furniture or personal items of students.
The electrical system in the residence halls is not designed to carry heavy loads of electrical equipment. To prevent students from blowing fuses, we require students to be responsible in their use of appliances/electronics which includes proper and judicious use of extension cords and surge protectors. Extension cords should not be frayed, overloaded, bent or taped down under rugs.

Personalizing the space in your room is encouraged. However, we require that you do so in a manner that does not cause damage, and does not violate either legal or community standards (offensiveness or harassing material is not permitted), and takes into consideration you roommate’s taste. To hang posters in your room you should use poster putty instead of tape. Flammable decorations or other materials are not allowed in the residence halls. Decorations may not be affixed to ceilings nor may they be attached to or block fire safety equipment. Questions should be referred to your Resident Assistant when you arrive to check into your room.
