Heads up — this school breaks the usual rules
- Beds are 36" x 79" x 6" — not Twin XL. Standard Twin XL sheets (39" x 80") will be baggy in both directions, and deep-pocket sheets made for 10–12" mattresses will be very loose on a 6" mattress. Buy shallow-pocket and expect slack.
- A mini-fridge AND a microwave are already in every residence hall room. Buying a MicroFridge is pure waste. Any additional fridge is capped at 4 cubic feet.
- Bed risers AND lofting are both banned — the beds already adjust from 11 to 38 inches off the floor. Skip the riser set entirely.
- Wireless routers are prohibited, which catches families who buy one to fix a weak signal.
- Hamilton Hall bans pins, tacks and staples (masking tape or putty only) while every other community permits them — so the right hanging method depends on your building.
- Pressure cookers are explicitly banned, so Instant Pots are out even though air fryers are not named individually.
Buying the standard college checklist here will waste money — check your building first.
| Hall | Style | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| University Park — Double Occupancy Quad Cheapest bed on campus, with a full kitchen and in-unit washer and dryer at a below-dorm price. | Apartment | $1,525/sem |
| The Woods — Quad Cheapest traditional-style bed; suite bathrooms, with a fridge and microwave included. | Suite | $2,076/sem |
| Hamilton Hall The oldest dorm and an engineering-themed community, closest to the Student Union — and window curtains are provided. | Traditional | $2,878/sem double |
| Forest Lane — Small Two Bedroom A furnished apartment with a full kitchen, and no mandatory dining plan. | Apartment | $3,129/sem |
| The Village — Two Bedroom Unfurnished, and limited to sophomores, students 21+, or those with families — you buy the bed, so the 36x79 constraint does not apply. | Apartment | $4,739/sem |
| The Woods — Super Single, Jacob Hall The priciest room on campus; Jacob Hall carries a premium over the other eight Woods buildings. | Suite | $5,401/sem |
All Wright State rates are per semester, not per year — double them. Meal plans are not bundled into the rate but are mandatory for Hamilton Hall, the Honors Community and The Woods, while dining is optional at The Village. Two mandatory fees sit on top: a $200 communications fee and a $60 activity fee per person. Most halls require a two-semester agreement. Rates compiled from the university’s published housing rates, August 2026. Always confirm on the official rates page.
Who has to live on campus
No residency requirement was found on any Wright State page — the Residence Life homepage, application, policies, WrightPath and Student Handbook housing section all present living on campus as a choice. Note one eligibility restriction running the other way: The Village Apartments require sophomore or higher class rank, students with families or partners, or students at least 21.
What the room already includes
Halls come furnished with a bed frame and mattress, desk, wardrobe and a chest of drawers per resident, and Hamilton also provides window curtains. Rates include all utilities, high-speed wireless internet, streaming cable TV, and air conditioning in every community. College Park and University Park are four-bedroom, two-bath furnished units with a full kitchen and an in-unit washer and dryer; Forest Lane offers studios and two-bedrooms; The Village has a full kitchen but building laundry rooms, and is unfurnished. Wright State notes across all communities that housing includes furniture but not electronics, bedding, cookware, dishes or decorations.
Fridge & microwave rules
A mini-fridge and a microwave are already provided in every residence hall room — do not buy either. Hamilton’s fridge is 18.5" x 33" x 17" with a 17.5" x 10" x 12" microwave; Honors and The Woods list equivalents. Students may add just one more unit: “one additional refrigerator or freezer per bedroom,” no larger than 4 cubic feet. No microwave wattage cap is published. All four apartment communities have full kitchens, so nothing is needed there.
What you cannot bring
Additional air conditioning units, bed risers, blowtorches, bows and arrows, broilers, candles with wicks, charcoal and lighter fluid, daggers, darts and dartboards, deep fryers, exercise poles, flammable fluids, fuel-driven engines, halogen and lava lamps, homemade bed lofts, hookahs, hoverboards and e-transportation devices, incense, induction burners, open flames, appliances with open heating elements, pizza ovens, pressure cookers, silly string, scuba tanks, space heaters with exposed coils, portable washers and dryers, and wireless routers and servers. Waterbeds are prohibited. Lofting and risers are both banned — residents may not loft or alter the provided bed frame. Covering an entire wall is not allowed, and nothing may hang from the ceiling or sprinkler system. Hanging method varies: pins, small tacks or staples are fine everywhere except Hamilton Hall, which allows only masking tape or hanging putty. Pets: all prohibited except fish, with tanks capped at 20 gallons.
