break of 2007, complete with; two stoves, two sinks, four microwave ovens,
and an ice/water machine. We have common use pots and pans, utensils and
other appliances such as; a waffle iron, rice cooker, blender, coffee maker,
a gas Bar-B-Q grill outside and other cooking items. Residents need to
supply their own eating utensils, dishes, glass ware, storage containers and
other personal items.
Commons Recreation
We

electronic darts, board games, a big screen TV with gaming capability and
outdoor sporting equipment. For those that enjoy watching television, we
have a 60” HD 1080P DLP Mitsubishi with surround sound in our TV lounge
along with 400 DVDs and satellite service. We also allow residents to check
out the DVDs for two days at a time, at no charge, to watch them in their
room if they have personal equipment.
Commons Patio Area
For those that enjoy relaxing
outside, we have a patio area complete with two picnic tables and umbrellas.
The dorms are situated in a scenic natural area with a seasonal creek.
A
Typical Dorm Room
All rooms are
the same size; they measure approximately 16’ x 12’. Each person has a
lofted bed with a full desk top underneath, along with two three drawer
pedestals and a two position chair. Each person also has a three drawer
chest and a built-in wardrobe/closet with hanging space and four drawers.
The rooms were renovated over the summer of 2007 to include; new carpet,
paint, lighting, windows, blinds, heating ventilation and air-conditioning
units and new furniture in 2006.
Study Lounge
Study in comfort and quiet in the
large study lounge made available in each dorm.
Laundry Facilities
Each dorm has a laundry room (not
pictured here) with three coin-operated washers and three dryers; it’s $.75
to wash and $.50 to dry.
Food Service
There isn’t a food program
associated with Residence Halls, but the cafeteria is right across the
street in the Student Center. Food Service operates Monday – Friday, 7:00am
– 6:00pm and they have a variety of options available to you. The Corner
Grille
offers cook-to-order breakfast and lunch, deli bar, grilled items, espresso
bar, Mexican food and a full hot dinner. Pizza, salad bar, and a hot lunch
can be enjoyed from the Center Express.
Other Amenities
You just can’t beat the convenience
of living on campus at Residence Halls. If you have a car, you’ll receive a
free parking pass for the “dorm only” parking lots. You’re within easy
walking distance of all of your classes. You’ll save vehicle operating costs
and valuable time. Your basic utilities are included in your dorm fees; you
pay for your own room telephone or DSL if you want it, but as mentioned, we
have wireless internet available at no charge and cell phone reception is
pretty good. Lastly and probably most important of all that we have to
offer, is that the experience and friendships that you will gain from living
at Residence Halls are simply priceless.
