Moving in to your new home is an exciting time!

This is the time to decorate and make your space your own.

Here are some frequently asked questions about moving in to your new room: -Can I move around or remove any of the furniture in my room?

Students are welcomed to rearrange furniture in their suites to fit their taste but removal of any furniture items is not allowed.

-How do I loft (lift) my bed to allow for more room?

You can make a request at the RA Greeting Table. We also encourage you to bring a rubber mallet to loft the beds and make adjustments.

-What if there is a maintenance issue?

During Move-In our Maintenance Technicians are available to help with any concerns. You can report any issues at the Welcome Table in the Lobby.!
