Students apply for and obtain approval from the Foreign Languages and Literature Department to live in a language house. If you are interested in this option, please contact the language department chairperson as soon as possible to see if you are eligible. Students supply their own linens and pillows. We also encourage you to bring a matress pad. One telephone line is provided per student.
Detailed information is included in the telephone system section below.
In addition, each room is equiped with the capacity for two computer network lines and a cable television hook-up. If you bring a computer to campus and wish to be linked to the College network, you may purchase a connection kit from the bookstore upon your arrival on campus. At Hood we believe that learning to live successfully with other people is an important part of the college experience. Learning the skills of communication, compromise, and negotiation are essential, and sharing a room with another student allows you to develop these skills. In order to help roommates communicate and establish mutual expectations, roommate workshops will be held during Orientation.
