Heads up — this school breaks the usual rules
- Beds are 36" wide campus-wide, not the 38" Twin XL standard. Fitted sheets generally work, but toppers, pads and encasements bought at exactly 38" will be sloppy.
- Roommates in the same room may need different bedding. In Futrall, Humphreys, Pomfret B, C and D, and Yocum, the door-side bed is a 75" regular twin while the window-side bed is an 80" long twin. In Reid Hall, every bed is 75". Buying two identical Twin XL sets for one room is a mistake in five halls.
- Laundry is not free — it is rationed. Two washes and two dries per week are included; everything beyond that is $1.50 a load.
- ⚠ The meal plan question is genuinely unanswered by the university. The housing rates page says meal plans “are not required,” while the binding 2026-27 room and board contract says all residents except those in Duncan Avenue Apartments and leased properties are required to have one, with non-selectors auto-assigned. That is a four-figure budgeting swing — assume the contract governs.
- Extension cords are permitted and even recommended here, provided they are UL-approved and not daisy-chained — the opposite of Texas Tech. But multi-plug adapters and power strips without an internal circuit breaker are banned.
- Bed risers are allowed but cinder blocks, bricks and PVC are not, and free-standing lofts are prohibited — housing lofts beds for you if you file a request by 20 July.
Buying the standard college checklist here will waste money — check your building first.
| Hall | Style | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Futrall Cheapest tier; female only. The door-side bed is a 75" regular twin while the window-side is 80". | Traditional, community bath | $4,205/sem double |
| Gibson / Gregson / Walton / Reid / Hotz Honors Reid is the one hall where every bed is 36" x 75". | Traditional, community bath | $4,403/sem double |
| Duncan Avenue Apartments The only apartment-style hall — full kitchen, in-unit washer and dryer, open during breaks, and exempt from the meal plan. | Apartment | $4,537/sem one bathroom |
| Founders Also the rate for the Adohi Pods. | Traditional | $5,701.50/sem double |
| Northwest Quad Clark, Gatewood, Harding and Morgan — single rooms only, and the beds are not loftable, with a maximum 31" of clearance. | Suite | $6,095/sem |
| Adohi Hall The most expensive standard hall room on campus. | Suite | $7,338.50/sem semi-suite single |
All rates are per semester — the sticker figure is half the annual cost — and a $200 advance payment is credited against spring charges. ⚠ Two published contradictions. First, the rates page says meal plans are not required while the binding contract says all residents except those at Duncan Avenue and leased properties must have one. Second, a footnote says single rooms cost 100% above the double rate, yet the same page’s table shows singles at roughly 30% above. Neither is reconciled by the university. Rates compiled from the university’s published housing rates, August 2026. Always confirm on the official rates page.
Who has to live on campus
All single students admitted with freshman classification and under 21 must live on campus — in traditional halls, university-managed properties, or a parent or guardian’s home within 70 minutes of campus. The requirement covers the first year only. Exemptions: transfer students with at least 24 completed credit hours; living with a parent or guardian within 70 minutes with a verification form; case-by-case requests with documentation; and fully online degree programs. Requests are due at least three weeks before orientation.
What the room already includes
A twin bed and mattress, study desk, desk chair, closet or wardrobe, and dresser — none of which may be removed from the room. Wi-Fi is included and ethernet may be available. Laundry is included only up to a cap: housing fees cover two washing and two drying cycles per week, after which students add funds and pay $1.50 a load. Several community-style halls have a shared kitchen with cooking equipment available at the front desk. Duncan Avenue Apartments is the only apartment-style hall — fully furnished with a full kitchen, a washer and dryer in each apartment, all utilities except telephone, high-speed internet, and it stays open during breaks when most halls close.
Fridge & microwave rules
Bring your own — not provided in the standard halls. Caps: one refrigerator per bedroom not exceeding 3.2 cubic feet, and it must be Energy Star compliant. Microwaves are capped by volume rather than wattage — one per room, not exceeding 0.7 cubic feet, with no wattage limit published. Note the 3.2 cubic foot cap is stricter than many schools, so a fridge legal elsewhere can be illegal here. Unnecessary in Duncan Avenue Apartments, which has a full kitchen.
What you cannot bring
Cooking appliances other than microwaves, coffee makers, hot pots and popcorn poppers with closed coil elements — and all open-heating-coil devices such as toasters and toaster ovens and hot plates. Explicitly banned: air fryers, Instant Pots and pressure cookers, induction-heating devices, George Foreman-style grills, NuWave devices, personal ice-makers and all grills. Air conditioners including window and portable units, space heaters of any type, electric blankets without automatic shut-off, and water coolers. Candles lit or unlit, incense, open-flame or open-coil potpourri and wax warmers, and halogen bulbs. Multi-plug adapters and power strips without an internal circuit breaker are banned — but UL-approved extension cords of proper gauge are permitted and appear on the bring list, provided they are not daisy-chained. No nails or screws in walls; use removable adhesive strips or sticky tack, and doors are limited to 50% coverage. Beds may not be removed or disassembled, and cinder blocks, bricks, woodblocks and PVC are prohibited for raising beds — but retail bed risers are acceptable. Free-standing lofts may not be built. Pets: small harmless fish in an aquarium no larger than 10 gallons. Also banned: e-scooters and e-bikes, knives over four inches, three-in-one laundry sheets, and wireless printers communicating on 2.4 or 5 GHz.
