Can I decorate my apartment?
Of course you can, we want you to be comfortable. However, there are limits to what you can do to the apartment. Students cannot make any permanent alterations to their apartment (painting, wallpapering, etc). You are welcome to personalize your apartment by hanging pictures, posters, etc. Please refrain from using nails to hang items on the walls. Invest in those wonderful (and removable) 3M hooks. If you have specific questions regarding decorating your apartment please contact the Office of Student Housing to inquire.

If I decide to not live in Student Housing and I’ve already submitted my signed Student Housing contract and $500 prepayment-what should I do?
If students wish to cancel their Student Housing contract before actually moving in, you should submit a written notice to the Office of Student Housing. Students will be charged a $250 termination fee and will receive $250 back.

Can I smoke in the building?
Student Housing facilities are smoke free. For your convenience, there are cigarette receptacles outside of the entrances and exits of the building. Smokers should remain at least 15 feet from the doors and be mindful of students as they enter or exit the building.

Where can I do laundry?
Washers and dryers are located in community laundry rooms, located on each floor. Laundry machines are available with the use of pre-valued debit cards. Each student is provided a debit card upon move-in. If lost or stolen the cards may be replaced for a $5.00 fee by request at the Office of Student Housing.
