All the beds in the residence halls are twin beds. North Hall has 76 inch beds, the rest are 80 inches long. We recommend that resident students in halls other than North Hall bring extra long (81") twin bed sheets to campus. These extra-long sheets are available at most retail stores.

All windows come with horizontal blinds. Sizes vary so if you want to purchase additional treatments you must wait until you move and measure the exact size. There are many retailers within minutes of campus.

Huskie lofts (commercially provided) and student provided lofts are indeed allowed in most residences. Please note the following exceptions: 1) lofts are not permitted in the Carmel Living Learning Center, Ernsthausen Hall and Heritage 3E because these areas have loftable furniture. 2) Huskie lofts are not permitted in Heritage 2E because this area has built-in furniture.
