There are many features common to all our residence halls. Each residence hall has its own laundry facility (with free laundry), a full kitchen, and a furnished common area. Given the mountain location, air-conditioning is usually not necessary (but bring a fan), and all rooms have heat and opening windows.

Each room has ethernet connections and wireless (allowing you to connect directly into the campus network for high-speed internet access). Cell service varies, with coverage being best with Verizon, T-Mobile, and US Cellular — all have LTE/4G data through most of campus.

Most rooms have two beds with single 37″ x 80″ mattresses (bring XL twin sheets). Each room typically has two dressers, two closets or wardrobes, and two desks. All windows are equipped with blinds. All rooms are well-lighted, but a study lamp for your desk might be a good idea.
