Students are encouraged to bring a mobile phone to Blair as there are no landline phones in dorm rooms. Additionally, should the need arise, students will be alerted by text of any emergencies on campus. Students must abide by the community standard regarding cell phones. This includes no cell phone usage in the dining hall or while walking between buildings on campus. Freshmen must turn in their cell phones nightly during study hall and before lights out. Parents may contact housemasters for any after-hours emergencies that may arise. AT&T and Sprint coverage is better than Verizon in Blairstown.
