Residential Life at Wesleyan

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>I just had a few quick questions regarding Wesleyan residential life. </p>

<p>1) I was wondering if housing still guaranteed for all four years? The only information I can find explicitly on the website is from 2006-2007, and I heard that some schools, either because of over-enrollment or other, less clear factors, have been unable to guarantee housing for all four years, even if they had in the past. </p>

<p>2) I was also wondering if anyone had any information on Wellness Housing and how effective it actually is in keeping floors or buildings substance free. </p>

<p>3) My last question is little random/probably foolish sounding, but are the beds Wesleyan provides standard twin beds or twin extra long? I'm trying to take advantage of any bedding sales I see, since I need to pay for everything related to dorm-accessorizing myself. Almost all the other schools to which I applied have twin extra long mattresses, so I had been planning on keeping an eye on that size sheets. At the same time, I didn't want to purchase one size and have it be incorrect when I find out which schools accepted me and decide where I am going, so I wanted to do my research.</p>

<p>Thanks very much!</p>

<li><p>yeah, in fact you need special permission to live off campus. there is sort of a housing shortage because they increased the class size recently, and it’s not totally predictable how many people will go abroad, but there’s no chance that you won’t have housing at all. </p></li>
<li><p>there’s a substance free hall for frosh, which I think is subject to change location, and well-being house, which is a program house (sophomores and older). I would be pretty surprised if they were not in fact substance free. there are usually people in any dorm that don’t drink/do drugs anyway. </p></li>
<li><p>twin extra long beds are pretty universal. whatever they have at target in the dorm section will fit fine.</p></li>
