Community Expectations
The residence hall is a community and you are a member of that community. As a staff, we believe a residence hall is more than a place for a break from classes. Ideally, the residence hall is a vibrant and active community; the center for student life. The staff encourages you to develop an awareness of the many opportunities that this presents daily, and challenges you to take advantage of this setting to increase your leadership abilities and social development.
We feel that it is very important to ensure that the rights of each individual are respected. In doing so, we urge each resident to act responsibly toward the rest of the community and himself or herself as well. Therefore, it is important that each person's actions contribute to the development of a strong, safe, balanced community within the residence hall.
The above illustration shows the basic room layout for most residence hall rooms. The closets are generally built in and cannot be moved, except for closets in Alger Hall, Clark Hall, Glass Tower Hall and Whitaker Hall.
Two single beds are also included. With the exception of West Campus Apartments, the mattresses are extra long. Students usually prefer the extra-long size twin sheets that can be ordered through the Residence Hall Linen Program. However, standard, twin-size sheets will also work.
