Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my own refrigerator?
Yes, it must be a mini-sized refrigerator, less than 3.2 cubic feet. Residence Life works with a company to allow our residents to rent a refrigerator for the year if that works better than purchasing one. Please check out https://www.collegeproducts.com/ to learn more and to order a refrigerator or refrigerator/microwave combo. They will be delivered to your residence hall room in the fall and picked up in the spring!
Can I bring my own microwave?
Yes, it must be a small portable microwave, preferably 750 to 1000 watts.
What is the size of the bed and do I supply my own linens?
Typical mattress size is 36 inches wide, 80 inches long, and 6 inches high. Usually, extra long twin sheets fit the best. You must supply your own mattress pad, sheets, pillow, pillow case, blanket, towels, washcloths and toiletries.
