Room Furnishings

The University provides for each student a desk, a chair, a bureau, and a bed (extra long, 80" by 36") with a mattress, but without a pillow. In some dormitories a few additional furnishings are provided, and these will be specified when you receive your room assignment from your residential college dean. Almost all students live in suites in which they share a living room with several roommates. Consequently, it would be wise to consult with your roommates over the summer about bringing furniture, stereos, telephones, rugs, tv sets, etc. Please note that many rooms have no overhead lighting, so you should, in any case, plan to bring some lamps with you; halogen lamps, however, are fire hazards and are not permitted.
