Room Charges Residents must sign a one-year housing contract before the academic year begins. Charges are payable two weeks before the first day of classes each semester. The fee is collected before the first semester of residence and is retained until the student leaves the residence hall in May. Rates for housing and meals are subject to change without notice. All rooms include single beds, mattresses, window draperies, desks, chairs, bookshelves, drawer and closet space. Rooms cannot accommodate any additional furniture except small bookcases and stands for radios or stereos.
Residents supply their own linens, blankets, bedspreads, pillows, and throw rugs.
The public areas of the residence hall are maintained by janitorial service, but students are expected to care for their own rooms. The use of electrical appliances in student rooms is limited to personal computers, clocks, radios, razors, stereos, and hand-held hair dryers. Residents supply their own phones. Students living in Cutter House are highly encouraged to bring their own personal computers for use with CWRUnet, the University's fiber-optic network system. Occupation of the Residence Hall Cutter House is open to all new residents beginning with the first day of Freshman Orientation and to returning students on the Saturday preceding the beginning of classes.
