More than a place to sleep, your residence hall is a place to live, learn and make friends.

Visit Residential Life online to find:

• Information about the room assignment process, including when your roommate information will be provided
• Specific information about each residence hall, such as where lofts are permitted, what furniture is provided, who lives in the building, etc
• A list of what to bring and what is prohibited in the residence halls due to fire safety codes
• Information on themed housing options
• Information about RU’s four-semester residency requirement
• Photos of rooms and common areas within each building

Make yourself at home by:

• Using a table or floor lamp to soften the harshness of fluorescent lighting
• Adding color to your walls, like posters, but only 10 percent of each wall can be covered
  
• Bringing shelves to display pictures and other mementos and they create space
• Bringing accessories such as throw pillows, blankets, rugs and photos to add comfort and personality to any room
• Bringing something of sentimental value that reminds you of home — a photo, favorite poster or, yes, even that ragged teddy bear that never fails to cheer you up
