Furniture

Room furniture is not to be moved out or dismantled, or moved from commons areas. Violators will be assessed a fine of at least $10 per item. Both beds and dressers must remain in the room at all times, even if you room alone. If you would like the beds bunked or un-bunked, leave a repair slip at the front desk, signed by both roommates and staff will respond as quickly as possible: thank you for understanding that they will either bunk or un-bunk your beds once, so be very certain how you want the furniture configured for the entire year before submitting the slip. At the beginning of the school year, the greater number of these requests means it takes longer to get to each work order, but they will work hard till are all completed. Beds may be used singly or bunked, but because of risk to life and property the following are not permitted and will result in fines of at least $10:

  • Resting one end of frame on dresser or other furniture not made for this
  • Stilted or “trundled” underneath, unless designed to do so

The Dean will be happy to help you determine whether your clever suggestion is doable/safe.

Furnishings, sofa cushions, pictures, etc. removed from their place, whether taken to your room or elsewhere, is theft and will result in serious discipline and a fine. Removing these items from their proper places even for a short time limits their availability to others. Rooms may be checked at any time and these items will be returned to their proper location.
