You will have the university address, followed by a P.O. Box number. Be careful not to confuse your P.O. Box number with your room number. There are two active phone jacks per room. All calls on campus are free of charge and can be made by dialing the four digit extension of the person you are trying to reach. To place a call off campus, a calling card is needed.
Many students find that a prepaid calling card works fine.
You will need to bring your own phone and provide the cord between the phone and the wall-jack. All buildings also have pay phones for incoming or outgoing calls. You can access the Internet in residence halls via modem with your own computer. The University will use campus e-mail as one of its primary means of communicating with students, from important notices about school closings to notes from the faculty. Each room has one active cable TV line, which provides 49 channels for viewing.
