Today's electronics are small and unfortunately easily stolen. Room Safes, similar to safes you find in hotel rooms, are highly recommended to safeguard your important documents, electronics such as your laptop or tablet and your purse or wallet. These safes can be connected with a security cable and attached to your bed frame. Most students find that they are able to purchase cost effective room safes at retail stores. Please note that each room does have at least one piece of furniture (i.e. a dresser or closet" equipped with a hasp so that you can easily put a paddlock on it.)
In order to keep the Residence Hall lounges hygenic and pleasant, students are required to remove their personal room trash to the dumpsters in the Residence Hall Parking Lot.
You can get a refund by reporting to the Auxiliary Services Office in the Alumni College Center Room 206.
