There is no monthly service fee. All long distance carriers are available from Susquehanna University using 10XXX dialing for credit card, collect and other operator assisted calls. The overall cost of telephone service at the University is less than the same service from the local telephone companies and direct dialed long distance calls are substantially less expensive than credit card or collect calls. There are also a limited number of pay telephones and campus extensions in the hallways of most campus buildings. These campus extensions cannot be dialed from off campus except through the campus operator.
Voice mail is also available to all university students.
This eliminates the need for individual answering machines. Students should not bring their own answering machines to campus. Both the residence halls and the food service are closed when classes are not in session. Under special circumstances, the Director of Residence Life will assist students in making living arrangements during those periods. The linen rental service that was offered in past years is no longer available.
