The dormitory rooms are located on the campus grounds surrounding the beautiful main courtyard area and are only a few short steps from the classroom building. The dorms are located in 5 different buildings and on 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors.

The walls are made of plaster and we ask that no nail holes or other penetrations be made to the walls. Damage to walls could result in forfeiture of your security deposit. There is a fabric material on a designated wall in the room. Please use this surface when hanging or tacking things on the wall.

A duplex electrical outlet next to the bed has one side connected to a switch adjacent to the entry door. The other is not switched and would be used where continuous power is needed for a clock, radio, etc.

Under the bookshelf that is above the desk, there is a fluorescent task light for illuminating the surface of the desk. On the wall under the desk there is an outlet for a telephone.

The desk has a specially designed drawer for a computer keyboard and all shelving has a grommet for running wires vertically.

Each room has a ceiling fan and an overhead light, each of which is operated separately. These are on a motion sensor that automatically shuts the lights and fan off when the room is unoccupied. The motion sensor should be kept in the on position. The motion sensor device is located next to the front door.

There is a thermostat in each room to control a comfortable setting for heating and cooling. The college is on a controlled heating and cooling system. If the temperature falls below 56 degrees as a outdoor temperature, only the heat will work. When outside temperatures are at 58 degrees or higher, only air conditioning is available.

With the exception of four rooms designed for students with special medical needs, all rooms share a bathroom with an adjoining room. There is a soap dish in the shower for each student and the vanity has several drawers to serve each student. A dead bolt lock is on the room side of each bathroom to secure each room individually. When you are not in the bathroom, you should keep this door locked. It is also considerate to knock before entering this shared facility.

While an attempt was made to standardize each room you will see subtle differences in layout and size. Placement into another specific dorm room may be requested in writing and may be accommodated on a first come first serve basis.
