First person up picks it up at the front desk every morning and puts it in the TV lounge. Leave it there. But make some. The institute allows us to store our belongings in the basement, at our own risk. Just pack your stuff in boxes, you may wish to line the boxes with a plastic bag to protect from the threat of water damage.
Some students make a list with a short description of what each box contains.
There is a valuables cage for storage of items of worth. You need to make an appointment at the desk to put items there. The hall designates one room to store refrigerators and carpets for the summer. Items other than refrigerators and carpets may be removed by forces beyond our control. The fridge room will be locked all summer.
