How to loft your bed
Please follow these instructions provided by our manufacturer on how to appropriately loft your bed.
Air Conditioning in Residence Halls
While many of our Residence Halls have central air-conditioning (Andrews, Armington, Babcock, Bornhuetter, Brush, Gault Manor, Gault Schoolhouse, Luce, and Stevenson Halls), there are a few halls that do not have AC. Students are not permitted to bring window AC units from home. If a student has a medical need for AC and is not living in a building with central air, they should apply for a Housing Accommodation through the Academic Resource Center. If the student is approved, The College will install one our our own AC units in the room. Students not living in air conditioned buildings are encouraged to bring fans from home for the first several weeks of classes. Another great option that is permitted on campus is a ChillWell unit.
Roommate Agreement
We strongly encourage all students living with someone new to complete a Roommate Agreement First-Years will be required to work through this form with their new roommates to help establish boundaries and healthy relationships to last through the academic year. Upperclass students are offered the opportunity to complete the agreement if they wish to do so. Your Resident Assistant (RA) has forms available, there are several copies in the campus life office, or you are welcome to print off the agreement from the link above.
