Do I Get To Pick My Roommate?
Yes, you can request a roommate by writing the person's name on the questionnaire that accompanies the housing contract. If you do not have a particular roommate in mind, the questionnaire allows us to place you with someone who shares your interests, study and sleep habits, etc.
How do I get my meals?
Your student ID card is scanned each time you eat a meal. All dorm residents must choose a 14 or 19 meal per week plan. Weekly menus are available on the Food Services web site.
What Is The Curfew/Visitation Policy?
Dorms are open for visitation from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 mid. Sunday through Thursday and from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Outside doors are locked nightly at 11:00 p.m. and opened at 11:00 a.m. You will be issued a key during check-in so you can come and go between those hours. Guests must be approved in advance by the dorm manager.
How Secure is the Campus?
Full-time dorm security patrols in and around the dorms from about 9:00 p.m. until 4:30 a.m. to help assure the safety of students. Officers may be reached on their cellular phones if any assistance is needed. There also are security cameras that cover the dorm exits and floors for the safety of students.
What If I Get Sick?
We have a Director of Health Services on duty during the week who can help you with health problems and refer you to a physician or other off-campus resources as needed.
