Residential Learning Tips
Dorm space-savings finds
Space challenged? We’re not talking Star Wars here; we are talking dorm-room
space. We did a little online shopping research for you and found a few items that
you might find helpful. We are not promoting any of these products or the
companies that sell them; we are just trying to be helpful.
Your room will have a twin bed with a brand-new memory-foam mattress topper, a
desk, desk chair, closet or armoire, and small trash can (large trash cans are NOT
permitted).
Each Residential Learning building has a “snack center” with a refrigerator,
microwave and tables and chairs. As well, each building has a washer and dryer.
The lower-level of McManus Hall features a larger laundry center with 4 washers,
4 dryers, as well as a pool table and two student lounges. All RL students can
access the McManus Laundry and Lounge Center with their ID card which will
electronically open the gate and door. Washer and dryers are FREE!
Let the force be with you! No – make that, let the space-planning be with you!
