<p>Question
What furniture is provided in on-campus housing?
</p>

<p>Answer:
Residence Halls and Residential Plazas:
Every student is provided with a bed, mattress (80 inches, extra-long twin), desk, chair, drawer storage, and closet space. Please note that all three-person rooms have one set of bunk beds and one elevated loft-style bed. All rooms are fully carpeted and include drapes.</p>

<p>Residential Suites:
Each suite has two bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom. All rooms have drapes and are fully carpeted. Every student is provided with a bed, mattress (80 inches, extra-long twin ),desk, chair, drawer storage, and closet space in each bedroom and living rooms are furnished with a couch, coffee table, and lamps. Please note that all three-person rooms have one set of bunk beds and an elevated loft-style bed.</p>

<p>Furniture (including mattresses) may not be removed from student rooms of original assignment in the On Campus Housing facilities without proper authorization from the Residence Hall Manager. Furniture may not be assembled atop bricks, bookcases, or other structures not originally designed to support it. Lofted or bunked beds may only be assembled by certified On Campus Housing Staff and manufacturer trained installers/movers assigned by the University. No other person or entity may install or construct lofts or bunk beds in a room. Bed adjustment requests must be made in the first two weeks of each quarter and a $35 fee will be assessed per request. This fee covers both the cost of the requested alteration and the returning of the bed to the original configuration upon move-out. Contact the Front Desk for a bed bunking request form. To ensure proper stabilization and anchoring for earthquake safety, lofts in rooms must not be altered. Elevated beds (i.e., bunks and lofts) may not be located directly in front of a window. Ladders and replacement guard rails for elevated beds are available upon request through the front desk of each residence hall. Armoires in suites must remain secured to the wall in order to prevent injuries during an earthquake. Waterbeds are not permitted in the residence halls/suites.</p>

<p>hmmm! i better find out how to ask for authorization haha for removal of mattresses . really want my own comfy mattresses. also, i could probably use my mild allergies as an excuse! :)</p>

<p>Yeah there is some nastiness that goes along with dorming... there's this random barf stain on my carpet. It was my welcoming present. :(</p>

<p>Ah, that sounds lovely, various bodily fluids resulting from drunk college students + a prison size room + 2 other people must be fantastic.</p>

<p>It's a must have.</p>

<p>this is what we will have to pay to live in :D yay.</p>

<p>so what else furniture do you guys have? im pretty sure someone have to bring a fridge for just snacks, fruits and stuff right? and tvs? but how do ppl decide who brings what or do they meet up and pitch in to buy them together?</p>

<p>well, you COULD ask your roommates to pitch in to buy the fridge, tv, etc. then you'd have to share.</p>

<p>HOWEVER, if you bring your own, you get all the rights!</p>

<p>GET YOUR COKE OUTTA MY FRIDGE! lalalalla the more stuff you buy, the more control you have in your room ;) thats "how i do".</p>

<p>you don't necessarily need a fridge but, it is nice to have. and you also don't necessarily need a tv. i went my first and second years without one and I was fine. usually in mid august or so, you learn who your roomies are and you can talk to them on the phone or through e-mail and figure out who's going to bring what or if you want to pitch in to buy something. the only thing with buying something collectively is that you have to keep in mind you may not want to room with those specific people the following year.</p>

<p>if you have a TV, does it go into the suite area or your room? And if its in either will you have cable or anything like that?</p>

<p>yes, im pretty sure you can get cable in any room. and it can go pretty much wherever you want.</p>

<p>well do you have to pay extra for cable or does it come with the dorms?</p>

<p>Comes with</p>

<p>sonicboom, most of the rooms don't have suite areas so it'd most be somewhere in your room and yes, cable is included in the housing cost.</p>

<p>are there 'common' living rooms? like... is it possible for people living on the same floor to 'chill' in a living room kind of area?</p>

<p>every floor has a study lounge which more or less serves as a living room so-to-speak.</p>

<p>but the study lounge is not really supposed to be a social area right? haha</p>

<p>At a residential hall, it might transform into a video game room (I've seen that.)
At a residential plaza, it's quieter, but at some floors, people talk there and it's annoying.</p>
