In July, all students who will be living on campus will receive microwave and refrigerator information and an order form from University Programs, a supplier of refrigerator and microwave units to colleges and universities. Students are strongly suggested to call their roommate before ordering any of the units, to avoid duplication. New roommates are encouraged to call each other before arriving on campus, to see who ll bring the phone. Residence hall rooms are not supplied with telephones. There is no extra cost for phone installation.
All local calls are free.
Students can study in their rooms, as well as in study lounges that are provided in many residence halls. Each residence hall is furnished with mailboxes. When you move into your residence hall, check with your RA to see where your mailbox is. Students are encouraged to call local bedding or department stores for availability of extra-long sheets. Housing Assignment Services has a sophisticated roommate matching program, where the students preferences are matched up against others, in terms of study habits, music preferences, guests, etc., in order to find the best roommate possible.
