Cleaning dorms

<p>Hello! For you current Amherst students, do you usually clean your own dorm room, as in mop/vacuum? Is there a mop or vacuum cleaner available to students, or do you have to use your own?
Also, do you need a surge protector for your laptop? The website says each room has a computer port outlet, but i don’t know if that means a surge protector is not needed. thanks :)</p>

<p>Yes, you need a surge protector. D cleaned her own room, and vaccuum cleaners were available.</p>

<p>There’s only one vacuum on each floor, and it’s a clunky old thing, so you might want to consider investing in a mini, handheld vacuum cleaner–just to keep tidy.</p>

<p>Most rooms are carpeted, so you won’t have to worry about mops.</p>

<p>Surge protectors are helpful when you’ve got many electronic devices, like an alarm clock, a laptop, a printer, a TV, a cell phone.</p>

<p>thank you!</p>
