Room Furnishings
What do you need to bring?
Not much. All rooms are approximately 15 by 11 feet and furnished with a microfridge, bed, dresser, desk, chair, wastebasket, closet and mirror.
Residents must provide their own blankets, sheets (twin extra long), pillowcases, bedspreads, towels and study lamps. Personal computers, stereos with headphones and compact televisions are also standard luxuries to consider.
Before you decide whether to bring all of these things, you may want to wait until you come to the campus and meet your roommate, and then together, you can decide on what you'll need. Sorry, we don't have storage space for additional items.
