Sorry, but pets are not allowed in the residence halls. This restriction is strictly enforced. Appliances should be plugged directly into existing electrical outlets. Alternatively, only grounded 15 ampere rated extension cords with a built in surge protector will be allowed. Personal air conditioners are not permitted in dorms.
All residence halls have fire extinguishers, fire alarm systems, fire doors, and smoke detectors.
For detailed information, refer to your copy of the Student Handbook when you arrive at Brown. Rhode Island State law prohibits smoking in all common areas. Smoking will only be allowed in the privacy of a resident's room. In the case of Multi-occupied rooms, it is expected that roommates will have an understanding amongst themselves. If a complaint arises and intervention is required, the preference of non-smokers prevails.
